According to , Cologne and Germany international Jonas Hector is a prime target - he can play at left wing-back or as an orthodox left-back.

Hector, 26, has 25 caps for Germany - Conte considered moving for him before signing Alonso from Fiorentina in the summer.

Last week, SunSport revealed that Conte is chasing Antonio, the versatile 26-year-old who is West Ham's top scorer with eight goals this season.

West Ham will be very reluctant to sell to their rivals, however.

Despite Chelsea's brilliant recent form, where they won 13 matches in a row and conceded just four goals, Conte wants more competition for places.

Alonso and Moses were excellent during the winning run, both starting every game, but looked tired and off the pace in the defeat to Tottenham last week.

The Blues have extremely limited options at wing-back in their squad.

Cesar Azpilicueta is an option but has been outstanding as part of a back three.

Pedro has enjoyed his best run of form since moving to west London and would be a weakness defensively.

Branislav Ivanovic played on the right against Peterborough, but is not mobile enough to do it long-term.

Ola Aina has also made a couple of appearances at the position, but is just 20 and not yet ready for Premier League football.
