#4 Daniele Rugani

Rugani is touted as one of the future superstars of Italian football and is well-known to Conte from their time together at Juventus. Rugani is a tall, tactically aware and physically strong centre-back, who is good in the air, both defensively and offensively.

The 22-year-old has all the ingredients to become a key player at Chelsea in coming years if he moves to Stamford Bridge. The Italian international is particularly known for his composure, ability to anticipate and mark well.

With Rugani not getting regular playing time at Juventus, Conte might use this to Chelsea’s advantage and lure the defender to Stamford Bridge.
