Antonio Conte wants to “find the right solution” for Chelsea, but it’s "not respectful” to dicusss Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Italian made his competitive debut on the Stamford Bridge bench tonight, overseeing a 2-1 win over West Ham United.
The Blues have been heavily linked with Koulibaly in recent weeks, but the former Italy CT was not willing to discuss the centre back.
“It’s important to have contact every day with the club,” Conte said in his post-match Press conference.

The Blues have been heavily linked with Koulibaly in recent weeks, but the former Italy CT was not willing to discuss the centre back.
“It’s important to have contact every day with the club,” Conte said in his post-match Press conference.
“The market is very crazy, the club know my ideas and it’s important to find the right solution to improve this team, not to buy for the sake of it.
“We are waiting for the right solution but I’m very happy to have these players because every day they show me a great attitude. There are two weeks and we'll pay attention, if we find the right solution that’s fine.
“Koulibaly? I don’t talk about players from other clubs, that’s not respectful.”
Juventus target Cesc Fabregas was dropped for today’s match, but Conte insists that doesn’t mean the Spaniard will leave.
“Cesc is Chelsea’s player and I’m happy with his attitude and behaviour.
“He must know when you are at a great team like Chelsea I have to take decisions before the game, to choose a starting 11.
“It can happen that Fabregas isn’t in the starting 11 but it can happen to all the players. It’s important to always see the right attitude because we must fight this season.
“Now, I took this decision but in the next game we don’t know, I could change or not. When a Coach makes a decision there is always a reason but I prefer to keep it for me.
“But I repeat I don’t see any problem, I’m very happy to have these players and train these players.”
