Antonio Conte will meet with Abramovich in Monte Carlo inside the next week to thrash out the final details of his appointment. [Telegraph] Antonio Conte is poised to shake hands on a three-year deal to take over as #Chelsea manager when he meets Abramovich in person. [Telegraph] Conte’s brother Daniele owns the One Apple restaurant in Monte Carlo, which could play host to the meeting with Abramovich. [Telegraph] Contrary to reports in Italy, Roman Abramovich has not yet told the #Chelsea squad that Antonio Conte will be the next manager. [Telegraph] Despite the fact that no agreement has been reached yet, one #Chelsea senior player has informed team-mates it is a done deal. [Telegraph] One of the final details to be agreed between Conte and #Chelsea is the staff he will work alongside at Stamford Bridge. [Telegraph] #Chelsea are keen for Conte to keep Steve Holland and also want to find a place for Didier Drogba, when he leaves Montreal. [Telegraph] #Chelsea and Conte have already discussed how he will utilise and develop Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the club’s youngsters. [Telegraph] #Chelsea are more desperate than ever not to waste their young talent or see their graduates excel elsewhere. [Telegraph] Along with allowing him to spend big money, #Chelsea have requested assurances from Conte that he will give youngsters a chance. [Telegraph] Conte wants to add to the #Chelsea midfield, but the club hope he can do a similar job with Loftus-Cheek as he did with Pogba.

Q: What do you think about Antonio Conte going to #Chelsea? - Massimiliano Allegri: "He will do well for sure.“ [Corriere dello Sport]

Hiddink insists our focus is only on tomorrow's game and not Wednesday's match against PSG. #CFC Hiddink: "Some teams in the top four are dropping points but teams like West Ham are also knocking on the door. Stoke are close too." Hiddink: "Making the top four this season might be a bigger achievement than during my last spell at #Chelsea." Q: Has Roman Abramovich told players + staff about Antonio Conte? - Hiddink: "Not to my knowledge." Sounds like Guus Hiddink isn’t a fan of this European Super League. "You must be very careful. Never forget what football is about." #Chelsea confirm that there was a meeting between the top clubs but a European Super League was NOT discussed. Mainly pre-season tours. Hiddink: 'I'm here for a short period and the club has to go into a new era where it's not about short spells.' #CFC Q: If this run continues, surely the fans will want you to stay? - Hiddink: "I will be at Stamford Bridge & Cobham many times, don’t worry." Hiddink says it's difficult to put the brakes on Diego Costa but adds he might not play the full game tomorrow. #CFC Hiddink says Diego Costa cannot be stopped at the moment. He will start against Stoke tomorrow but might not play the full game. Q: John Terry said last night that clubs would be queuing for you? - Hiddink: "I haven’t had any calls yet. I will speak to John tonight." Hiddink says whether or not JT makes the PSG game will be determined by how he trains next week. He adds he will take no risks. #CFC Q: Does John Terry have a genuine chance to play against PSG? - Hiddink: "It all depends on how he feels late on Monday." Q: Is Willian one of the best players in England? - Hiddink: "Yes, he plays consistently well. He likes to train and play every day."

Terry: "I want to play at the highest level. Being Chelsea through and through and a one-club man I couldn’t play for another PL club." #CFC Terry: "I couldn’t pull on the shirt for another team and not give 100 per cent – that’s not me." #CFC (Standard) Terry: "For sure, I will continue playing. I’m hopeful of where that is but we are not sure yet. Playing in Europe is an option" #CFC Terry: "It is in Chelsea’s hands. I have made it clear to the club I want to stay. If not, I will be playing [elsewhere]." #CFC (Standard) Terry: "I don’t know whether that [playing elsewhere] will be Italy, MLS, China or Qatar" #CFC (Standard)
