Chelsea have excelled this season but there is always room for improvement, something Antonio Conte seems to be aware of as the reports suggest he's keeping tabs across European football for potential signings.

The Evening Standard says that Chelsea are plotting a raid on Lazio for the services of Stefan De Vrij and Felipe Anderson, having sent scouts to Italy to watch the pair in action.

With Chelsea's defence being so formidable this season, it's the potential signing of Felipe Anderson that should whet the appetite of supporters and there's every suggestion the 23-year-old can become a big part of life at Stamford Bridge.

In 18 appearances this season, the winger has contributed with six goals and two assists, a decent tally for a player in his position, but it's the general attacking boost that Anderson provides that shows he would be a decent purchase.

With 35 key chances created and 33 shots taken, Anderson is capable of directly being a handful for opposing players and also bringing his team-mates into the game- which is crucial for any top-class winger in modern football.
