Antonio Conte furious with Chelsea's Lukaku chase
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is angry at Chelsea's continuous chase of Romelu Lukaku instead of his personal target Andrea Belotti.
The club's board are pushing for a move for Lukaku to return to the club while the Daily Star reports Conte prefers to go for Torino's Belotti.
Conte's frustrations lie with Roman Abramovich's right hand man Michael Emelano, who has been pursuing a sole striker this summer – the return of Lukaku from Everton after the Blues sold him to the Merseyside club in 2014.
Conte is keen on the Italian goal scoring sensation who grabbed 26 goals last season in the Italian Serie A and is angry the club won't listen to his orders to grab him.
What will upset him more is if rival manager Jose Mourinho lands Belotti should Manchester United's chase of Alvaro Morata fall through.
According to the report, Conte has not hand in the transfers of Alex Sandro and Willy Caballero who are close to finishing deals to join the club.
There were strong hints the Italian tactician is unhappy at the club this summer with the club's sluggish approach in the market and the philosophy of not following his wishes in doing business.
These issues have delayed his signing of a new deal a year after he joined the club.
Conte won the Premier League trophy in his first year at Chelsea and was confident his change of tactics and general play last season would warrant some authority at the club, a situation he is learning quickly might not happen under Abramovich.
