New Chelsea boss Antonio Conte tells club to KEEP outcast winger Juan Cuadrado

Incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has told the club to keep hold of Juan Cuadrado.

The winger is currently on loan at Juventus after being deemed surplus to requirements by previous manager Jose Mourinho.

The plan had been to sell Cuadrado at the end of the season and Juventus are ready to splash £15million to land the Colombian.

However, according to Tuttosport, Conte has contacted Chelsea and told them to keep hold of the 27-year-old.

The Italian is a big fan of the winger and sees him as an integral part of his squad when he takes over at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are now expected to pull the plug any deal for Cuadrado - much to the disappointment of Juve.
