New Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has given the clearest indication that he will be willing to help improve defender Baba Rahman defensively after monitoring the player closely during is first two training sessions.

The 22-year-old defender is one of the players that have a lot to prove in the coming season and indications are that he will have to step up his physical levels to improve.

There were reports of a loan deal elsewhere to mature after what was generally a hugely disappointing season for Chelsea as a whole who finished 10th on the league table despite winning the league just ten months before that.

But a determined Rahman is likely to stay on and fight for an improved season under Conte.

The defender is in line to play his first game of pre-season when Chelsea travel to Austria on Friday.

Conte has changed the training session to twice daily as he looks to whip up the physical levels of the players.
