"It's definitely disappointing. When these situations happen, they never happen by chance," Conte told Sky. "Last year we won the league with just a few players. They outdid themselves by being compact and staying united as a team. This year we have more games and brought in more players. "Nine (signings) was too many for me but we had to do it. There's no need to despair."

Chelsea signed Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United in the summer transfer window this year and they could get another player next year from Old Trafford. The Blues have been active in the market in recent windows and reshaped their squad under the leadership of manager Enzo Maresca. According to Teamtalk, Chelsea's interest in Kobbie Mainoo shows no signs of waning. Despite boasting a stacked midfield, the Blues are reportedly still keeping tabs on the 20-year-old Man United midfielder.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in the Napoli defender Sam Beukema, and they could look to make a move for him in future. The 26-year-old recently joined Napoli for a fee of 31 million, and the Italian champions will not want to lose him immediately after signing the player. However, a report from TeamTalk claims that Liverpool manager Arne Slot is a long-term admirer of Beukema, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool decides to make a move for him in the near future.
