Antonio Conte is looking to make a controversial move for Tottenham left-back Danny Rose, the Sun reports, with Chelsea likely to make a bid of £40 million after failing in their attempt to sign Juventus star Alex Sandro.

The Old Lady reportedly knocked back a £60 million offer for their Brazilian, which could have exceeded the £50 million spent by Manchester City on Benjamin Mendy and Kyle Walker.

Spurs will be resistant to losing both their star full-backs in one window, particularly one to their bitter rivals off the back of losing to the Blues in the title race.

Chelsea want to sway the England international by offering to double his £65,000 per week wages, reigniting their interest two years since they first started tracking the Leeds United product.
