Chelsea
are working tirelessly to bring new signings in before the transfer window
closes, manager Antonio Conte has revealed.
The Blues have already captured N'Golo Kante, Michy Batshuayi and Dinamo
Zagreb goalkeeper Eduardo arrive at Stamford Bridge so far this summer.
But, speaking after Chelsea's assured 3-0 victory over Burnley, Conte
confirmed the club were still in the market for players.
"There isn't a specific number," the Italian told Sky Sports.
"The club and I are working very hard every day to find the right solution
in transfer market because we all know that this transfer market is very
crazy.
"I am very pleased to work with the players I have because the attitude and
work-rate I see every day is fantastic.
"But we are working together to find the right solution to improve this
squad."
Chelsea coasted past newly-promoted Burnley with ease on Saturday thanks to
goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses.
The result sees the Blues enter the international break with maximum points
from their first three games.
And Conte, who was pleased with to see his side keep a clean sheet, was wary
the forthcoming intermission could hinder his side's progress but urged his
team to continue improving.
"It was a good performance and a good game," he added. "I'm pleased to see
the team play very well and create a lot of chances.
"After 13 games we haven't conceded a goal, the clean sheet is very
important because that increases our confidence in what we are doing. Now we
must continue.
"It is a pity there is an international break because I would prefer to
continue these games, but I am pleased for my players because I see their
behaviour every day in training. I am happy."
Asked specifically if there was still room for improvement, Conte said:
"Usually when we play a game - win, lose or draw - I like to show my players
the good things and the bad things.
"I think we can improve a lot but we are improving. Today we decided to win
the game. I repeat, I am pleased but we must continue about this way."
