I wouldn't be surprised if Antonio Conte tried to sign Paul Pogba for Chelsea- says former Juventus director

Former Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has told talkSPORT he wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea made a move for Paul Pogba this summer.

 

Incoming Blues boss Antonio Conte managed the Juve midfielder during his time in Turin and has regularly talked up his talents.

Pogba is likely to command a huge fee given his status as one of the world's best players, but that would not deter Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, and Secco reckons he is likely to be on Conte’s radar.

Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Secco said: "Pogba has incredible value and very, very few clubs can afford him. Chelsea is definitely one of them.

"We are talking about one of the best midfielders [in the world] so I wouldn't be surprised if he [Conte] went for him."
