Antonio Conte’s search for a central defender has led Chelsea to make a £30million bid for Roma’s Toni Rudiger.
The
Premier League champions have trailed Germany international Rudiger for
more than two years, since he left Stuttgart for the Italian capital.
Conte
has seen little progress made in the quest to sign either of his top
defensive targets: Virgil van Dijk of Southampton or Leonardo Bonucci of
Juventus.
