Inter Milan wing-back Young: Conte wanted me at Chelsea

Inter Milan wing-back Ashley Young is happy playing for coach Antonio Conte.

The former Manchester United captain revealed Conte tried to sign him for Chelsea.

He said, “He wanted me when he was at Chelsea. He's fantastic, ambitious and spurs you on in the quest to achieve set objectives. I joined Inter from Manchester United because I knew that I'd have the opportunity to play on a regular basis. I'm really happy to have been given this opportunity.

“Inter have a great side: I followed them before I arrived, now that I'm here I've become more aware of this after every training session. There's a desire to win, this is a historic and prestigious Club. By fighting together we can aim for big things. Right now, however, we need to take it one game and competition at a time. Then there will be time to look back and see what we've achieved."
