Antonio Conte has conceded that Chelsea are unlikely to bring in top striking target Edin Dzeko from Roma as an agreement could not be reached.
"He's Roma's player and I think that he will continue to be Roma's player," he told reporters at Tuesday's presser ahead of the visit of Bournemouth. "I can hope [for] everything, but the most important thing is the reality.
"Now the reality is this, and I have to prepare the game in the right way with these players. I'm very happy to do this. I always say that I will be happy in both cases, if the club decides to add players, but otherwise I'm happy to continue to work with these players because they show me great behaviours, great commitment."
