According to George Atangana, Conte is not the only boss in the hunt for Kessie though.

The Ivory Coast international's agent told Radio Kiss Kiss: "There are at least 20 clubs following the lad, including the best in Europe.

"We haven't spoken to Aurelio De Laurentiis yet. We'll talk about the transfer market in June.

"Napoli is an attractive club, they have a great coach in Maurizio Sarri. His price? Whoever wants him will have to invest a lot."

Kessie is one of a number of players said to be on Conte's wish list ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Chelsea boss is thought to be after Everton hitman Romelu Lukaku and Monaco ace Tiemoue Bakayoko too.
