The Blues are looking to get into shape before they open their Premier League season with a home clash against West Ham

Antonio Conte will begin life as Chelsea's new manager on Wednesday when he returns from a short post-Euro 2016 break.

The incoming Blues boss saw his Italy side exit the European Championship at the last eight stage 10 days ago.

But he has declined the opportunity to take a longer holiday in favour of getting straight down to business at Stamford Bridge.

Willian

The Italian was boosted by the news that Brazilian play-maker Willian, will put pen to paper and signed a new four year deal one that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2020.

Willian in his words after putting pen to paper to extend contract said, "It's a dream to continue with this club and over the next four years I will try to help the team win more trophies".

Willian was one of Chelsea's best performers last season, as the Blues' title defence went horribly wrong, with Jose Mourinho getting sacked before Christmas with his side sat in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

The Blues open their season with a home clash against West Ham on August 15.
