Former Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, believes that the Blues missed out on a chance to dominate the Premier League by not signing Romelu Lukaku and Virgil van Dijk in 2017. Conte, who led Chelsea to a Premier League title in his first season, expressed regret over the club’s failure to secure these transfer targets. In an interview with TeleFootball, Conte stated, “I think with those two important players we could have changed the situation. After first season, we could have become dominant in England.” His remarks shed light on what could have been for Chelsea, hinting at the potential impact of these acquisitions on the club’s performance in the league.
