Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen on signing
Swansea striker Fernando Llorente – and Blues
striker Michy Batshuayi could be going the
other way, according to Sky sources.
Sky sources understand there has not been any
contact between the two clubs about the
potential deal yet.

Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague understands that
Conte wants to sign Llorente “for sure”, while
Sky in Italy are saying a swap deal involving
Batshuayi is “moving closer”.
It is not clear if the deal would see the players
moving permanently, or on loan, or one
permanent and one loan
Conte knows Llorente well, having coached him
at Juventus and the pair won the Serie A title
together in 2014.

Spaniard Llorente has scored six goals in 17
Premier League appearances for the struggling
Swans this season.
Belgian Batshuayi is yet to start a Premier
League game since arriving from Marseille in a
£33m move last summer. He did play – and
score – in Sunday’s 4-1 win over Peterborough
in the FA Cup third round.
Asked on Sunday about the reports from Italy
about the potential swap, Conte said: “I repeat
always in the same, in this period – I don’t like
to talk about players of the other teams
because it is not respectful to the player and for
the team.”
