Chelsea plotting January move for winger, Agent says Conte 'would love' to sign South American now

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is looking to add more depth to his attack and has identified the Genoa winger Diego Laxalt as a possible signing.

The Uruguayan winger has impressed in Serie A with Bologna and Empoli as well.

According to Daily Mirror, Antonio Conte is a big admirer of the 23-year-old winger and could make a move for him when the transfer window re-opens next month.

Laxalt is a left winger and could be a backup for Eden Hazard. The Blues have enough depth on the right wing with Pedro, Willian and Moses all capable of playing there.
