Conte would love to sign Laxalt for Chelsea, says agent

Antonio Conte wants to bring midfielder Diego Laxalt to Chelsea, according to the Genoa player's agent.

Laxalt, 23, joined Inter from Defensor Sporting in 2013 but was sent on loan to Bologna, Empoli and Genoa across three successive seasons, with the latter switch resulting in a permanent move.

The Uruguayan left winger, who has also operated as a wing-back, has been a consistent performer for Ivan Juric's side this term, appearing in all 15 of their Serie A matches.

However, Laxalt's representative Vincenzo D'Ippolito says he could be on the move again at the end of the campaign, with a transfer to Stamford Bridge potentially on the cards.
