Antonio Conte admits David Luiz signing could prompt formation change
Chelsea spent a good portion of the transfer window looking for a new centre back, with names from Italy such as Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Torino’s Nikola Maksimovic believed to be the team’s primary targets during the last month.

Luiz, who left Chelsea in the summer of 2014, has no issues with whatever position he is required to fill for the team.
This means that Conte is prepared to expend plenty of time and energy working with Luiz, knowing that words alone are not enough to get players to do what he wants. In the last few seasons I have played as a 10 or as a winger. In different positions I am available. Silva is an important player for the team, a reference for the other players.
Conte thinks Luiz is now in the prime of his career and the Italian sees no reason why he can not make further improvements to his game in the coming years. “In this squad, there were Cahill and Terry, and sometimes we adapt Branislav Ivanovic in this role”, Conte said. I also find the good physical potential like Barzagli.
Chelsea, second in the standings, have won their opening three league games this season while Swansea are 14th following one win and two defeats.

Talking about Champions League, the new Chelsea manager’s intent was clear, and he wants all the players to see themselves playing there next season. However, instead of bringing in a brand new face, the Blues made a decision to welcome back a former fan favourite in David Luiz. And I hope it will be this year. He has to work with us as a centre-back.
Conte subsequently indicated he intends to utilise Luiz at the heart of the defence.
Indeed, Antonio Conte claims that he can develop the player, who re-signed for Chelsea on transfer deadline day, to become one of the best defenders in the world as a cross between the highly rated Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli, both of Juventus.
The Blues boss is also hopeful Alonso’s time with Bolton and Sunderland can serve him well. Now I’m the coach of David Luiz.

“He played in England (for Bolton and Sunderland) and for this reason he has a good experience of this league”.
