Antonio Conte has opened up on the club's new signings Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski in the press conference.
The Italian manager believes that the pair, who has made a move to the North London side from Juventus, will play important roles in the squad. He has particularly shared his praise for Kulusevski, claiming the 21-year-old is a "great talent".
"The two players are fit and for this reason tomorrow they are available, for sure to start the game is not right because they need to work with the team for a period. They can come in to help us a lot," Conte said (via
Football London).
"About Kulusevski, he is a good player, he is very young, he is a great talent and he can play like a number 10 with the strikers but at the same time he has the potential to play wing-back on the right, he has good quality. He likes to attack, he is good on a one vs one, to create chances for team-mates. A good signing for us."
When speaking about the January transfer window, the manager added:
"About the transfer market, I think the club tried to do the best and you know very well that January is not simple, it's not easy and I think the club tried to do the best. It's not simple and then to sign players you don't have a lot of options. That's it."
