Chelsea are thought to be close to completing the deal to land Monaco's midfielder powerhouse Bakayoko in a £35m deal.

And he is set to be followed through the door by Germany international defender Rudiger who will sign for £30m from Roma.

Conte could make it a hat-trick of deals when they step up their chase to land Juventus full-back Sandro with a £60m offer at the beginning of next week according

There is growing optimism around the English champions that they can lure Sandro to the club this summer if the price is right.

If they can push through a deal, Sandro will become Chelsea's most expensive player ever eclipsing the £50m they paid Liverpool for Fernando Torres in 2011.

The 26-year-old left-back has three years left on his current contract with the Old Lady and Juventus are ready to offer him a new deal to ward off the interest from Chelsea.

Bakayoko, 22, has already completed his medical whilst Rudiger's agent flew into London on Friday to complete personal terms.

Conte still wants to land a striker with Diego Costa's future unclear and has prioritised Everton's Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement.

The Toffees are holding out for £70m for the big Belgian which could take their summer spending to around £200m.
