Chelsea have enjoyed a thrilling campaign this season and victory over West Brom tomorrow evening will seal Premier League success for the Blues, who could then clinch a double by beating Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley later this month.

With a talented squad, which admittedly lacks depth, Chelsea have stormed through their campaign domestically but face a challenge next season to balance their focus to the domestic campaign and Europe, as the Blues will return to the Champions League.

Signing new faces to bolster the squad is vastly important for Chelsea this summer but the Blues must take action on another front, as Antonio Conte needs to be rewarded with a long-term deal that rules out a move for the Italian elsewhere.

Inter Milan are chasing the former Juventus and Italy boss, as they seek to capitalise on their takeover last year, and Chelsea face a stern test to fend off the interest of the San Siro side- despite the fact that Conte himself is happy in West London.

Conte signed a three year deal at Stamford Bridge last summer but the interest of Inter Milan makes it crucial that Roman Abramovich moves swiftly to secure his manager’s services to a fresh deal, which reports suggest he’s happy to do.

Chelsea should not have any issues securing Conte’s services to a new contract but the risks increase the longer they wait, as Inter Milan sacked manager Stefano Pioli earlier this week as they prepare to make significant improvements this summer.

Conte is top of Inter’s wish-list and the Italian side are ready to offer an audacious deal to the Chelsea boss. According to the Express Inter are ready to offer £250k-a-week, having met with Conte in London last month to assess his willingness to leave Chelsea.

Conte’s family still live in Italy and he’s said to be open to a return but Chelsea are discussing a new deal that would see the Italian boss land £10m-a-year on a four-year deal, which the Blues need to ensure is signed immediately.

Losing Conte this summer is unlikely but the risk is genuine and the departure of their manager would send shockwaves throughout the squad, which would then increase the likelihood of star players like Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois leaving Stamford Bridge.

Therefore, Chelsea cannot afford to rest on their laurels and should seal a fresh deal for Conte before the season comes to a close, which would allow them to focus on their transfer activities this summer and preparations for a Premier League title defence next season.
