Conte: Chelsea wanted Van Dijk

---

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has admitted that the Blues were interested in Virgil van Dijk before the centre-back made his £75 million move to Liverpool from Southampton earlier this month. 

"For sure he was our target but as you know this is football. We can have a lot of targets but you must be able to reach those targets," Conte said.
