Conte says he is keen to strengthen his Chelsea squad before the close of
the summer transfer window, but insists he will wait for the "right
solutions".
The Italian has made only two signings since being confirmed as Chelsea head
coach, with midfielder N'Golo Kante and forward Michy Batshuayi arriving at
Stamford Bridge for a combined £65.2m.
Despite having enjoyed an opening day victory over West Ham on Monday Night
Football, Conte expressed his desire to secure new recruits ahead of the
August 31 deadline and says he is working with the club over potential
additions.
"It's very difficult to speak about transfer policy, and about the
discussions I face with the club," the 47-year-old said.
"It's important to speak about the players with them at the right moment.
Before a game is very difficult.
"We are waiting for the right solutions to improve Chelsea. We need to sign
some players because we are now a few players short. We are working together
to find the right solution."
Meanwhile, Conte played down any suggestions of a long-standing feud with
Watford head coach Walter Mazzarri ahead of Chelsea's trip to Vicarage Road.
