Chelsea want to beat Barcelona to the signing of Valencia right-back

Conte wants the Premier League leaders to bring in Joao Cancelo next season

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has given a list of players to the club who he would like to sign next season. 

Two players stand out among the names: Valencia's Joao Cancelo and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku. They're two players the Italian wants at all costs. 

The Premier League side's chase for Cancelo could have a knock on effect on Barcelona. 

Valencia's Portuguese full-back is a player the Catalan club have shown more than an interest in -- what's more, there's an agreement between the club and the player after a failed deal in January. 

Despite that, it's not been ruled out that the player could still go elsewhere and Chelsea's interest -- whose wing-back formation would favour Cancelo's qualitites -- could prevail, according to the 'Daily Express'.

Chelsea also tried to move for Cancelo in January, but Valencia turned them down. He would be a good option to replace Branislav Ivanovic and would provide more than healthy competition for Victor Moses.
