Antonio Conte will reportedly leave Chelsea in the summer

Despite Conte continuing to give the impression he has little to do with the club's transfer dealings, Chelsea are understood to be working hard to sign the players the Italian wants. I don't see a difference between me and other coaches that managed this situation.

"[Those] who know me very well know I don't stop myself in front of the difficulties".

Despite Conte stating otherwise, Sky Sports News understands the Chelsea boss has given the club a list of targets, and the club is doing what it can to get the players he has identified. Failure is not an option; we know this. I try every day, through the hard work to overcome these difficulties. "I'm a specialist in this kind of situation". "I don't know where things are headed long-term but I think the club and manager will need to sit down in the summer to sort things out". What he did make plain was that his passion for the job had not waned; he is so consumed by his work that he is struggling to sleep at night. I don't want to create a problem for my wife, so I go in another room, the living room, and sometimes I start to work, watch a game or find a new solution.

But Lampard says it will take an even bigger outlay to keep up the pace alongside City and United, with both clubs leading the Blues in the table.

There was a degree of I-told-you-so from Conte when he brought up how he had predicted last summer that this would be his most hard season in management. Calm, very relaxed and I don't have this type of worry. "I don't have these type of worries". Conte asks his team to check in to the Woodlands Park Hotel, a mile from Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, Surrey.

The Nigerian goal keeper, who was virtually on holiday, only had a feel of the ball twice all through the first half of the match. Ajibade turned scorer in the 21st minute, when she rounded up the South Africa goalkeeper before she found the back of the net.

Such turbulence behind the scenes has led to Conte getting more frustrated with each passing week with Abramovich and will ultimately lead to his departure this summer.

For all involved, it comes down to expectation management, and cooler heads prevailing.

"When you start the season everyone has to try to dream", he added. "You have to try to overcome the reality, like we did last season".

He has been taking his coaching qualifications and working with the academy at Chelsea since retiring nearly 12 months ago, with the 39-year-old admitting he has plenty to learn before taking on a managerial job. "There are different times".

There have been further complications while Dzeko's agent, Irfan Redzepagic, attempts to get a work permit for the United Kingdom that will enable him to travel to the country to negotiate the final part of the deal.
