Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern were delighted when Conte managed to sign Premier League winner, N’Golo Kante, and now it looks as if another may be on his way.
Pictures have appeared on Twitter of Leicester star, Riyad Mahrez checking into The Chelsea Harbour Hotel, where the Blues stay before home games.
The PFA Player of the Year arrived at the West London hotel at the same time as the new boss at Stamford Bridge, Antonio Conte.
The pictures were taken by Italian, Alessandro Schiavone, who was there to meet the former Italy head coach for an interview but spotted the Algerian winger on his way out.

The Premier League champion has been linked with London rivals Arsenal in recent weeks, whilst his current manager, Claudio Ranieri, is desperate to hold onto his star.
Just to compound the fears of Gunners and Foxes fans following his Twitter feed, Allesandro posted a picture of him posing with the sought after midfielder to prove the meeting happened.
