On Friday, August 25, a press conference took place, during which Conte asked about the midfielder of the "blue" Kennedy.

The question was as follows: "Are you going to leave Kennedy at the club, or will you lease it?", To which the Italian responded: "It is important to wait with the decision, because we want to strengthen the current lineup," Konte says official website Chelsea.

"If we are in the transfer market, then we need to first buy players, not sell," said Conte.

Note that the transfer window in England is open until August 31 inclusive.
