Antonio Conte tells Tottenham to hijack deal for Chelsea target.

Antonio Conte has told Tottenham to sign the Bayer Leverkusen star.

Per Tuttomercatoweb, Antonio Conte has asked Tottenham to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender, Piero Hincapie who is also a Chelsea target.

Hincapie, 20, featured in three of Ecuador's opening games in the world cup and his impressive performance for both club and country has attracted interest from both London clubs.

Chelsea are said to be in the market for a left-sided central defender and per reports, have opened talks with the likes of Josko Gvardiol and AS Monaco's Benoit Bardiashile, but Hincapie is also a player of interest.

The Blues could now face stiff competition from Tottenham as Spurs boss Conte has identified Hincapie as a player who would suit his style of play. Tottenham are said to be exploring options to sign him.

Leverkusen signed Hincapie from Argentinean Club Atletico Talleres for around £7 million in the summer of 2021. The left-footed defender now has a contract with the Bundesliga side until the end of the 2025-26 season.

Hincapie has made 51 appearances across all competitions for the German club so far. The Ecuadorian has found the back of the net thrice and provided an assist in those matches.

It is worth noting that Chelsea and Tottenham are not the only clubs keeping tabs on Hincapie. The central defender is also the subject of transfer interest from clubs in the Italian Serie A.

Inter Milan are among the clubs credited with an interest in signing the Leverkusen youngster. However, they will not pursue a deal for him unless Alessandro Bastoni leaves, as per TuttoMercatoWeb.

Italian giants Juventus have also been mooted as a potential destination for Hincapie. The Bianconeri, though, are not in a situation to invest further in strengthening their squad as things stand.

The youngster is also said to have popped up on Napoli's radar, but they are keen to resolve Kim Min-jae's future first amidst interest from Manchester United. They are only likely to move for Hincapie if the South Korean leaves the club, per SportsKeeda.

Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players.

According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.
