Chelsea, Conte: "Barkley is an interesting player, the directors will work on his signing"

It seems that we have reached the decisive period that will see if Everton's Ross Barkley will be joining Chelsea. The English tabloids are reporting that the official announcement will come soon and Antonio Conte spoke of the transfer at his pre-match press conference for the FA Cup, "He is a young player that has a lot of room to grow. He has a great physical strength and great technical ability, but it is important to see what his athletic condition is after seven months of inactivity. In any case we have our directors and it is not my job to give you reports on possible acquisitions."
