Laporte is widely considered as one of the best young defenders in the world at the moment and has a bright future ahead of him and that future might be at Stamford Bridge if Conte decides to move for him.

However, we can expect the 22-year-old to be one of the most wanted players in the summer with the likes of Manchester City, Barcelona and Manchester United monitoring his progress.

The Frenchman is highly experienced for a player who is just 22 years of age and looks ready for a big move away from Athletic Bilbao in the summer. He is a ball-playing defender with a brilliant ability to read the game and will get only better with playing under a manager like Conte.
