Chelsea Transfer News: Antonio Conte Confirms Juan Cuadrado's Blues Stay

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed that Juan Cuadrado will stay with the Blues next season.

The Italian announced as much on Saturday, per Chelsea's official Twitter feed:

The Colombian spent last season on loan at Juventus following a disastrous six-month spell at Stamford Bridge.

According to Tuttosport (h/t Football Italia), Inter Milan were reportedly interested in signing the winger, and he had previously been linked with a return to the Bianconeri.

The 28-year-old enjoyed an excellent campaign with the Serie A champions, scoring five goals and six assists. Squawka provided his other numbers:

	Cuadrado
Apps	28
Chances Created	44
Take-Ons	71
Fouls Suffered	87
Tackles	27
Interceptions	23
Passing Accuracy	86%

Here's a look at some of his best moments:

GianlucaDiMarzio's David Amoyal reflected on his form and the loss he'll be to Juventus:

Their loss could be Chelsea's gain if he can replicate that form again next season rather than endure a repeat of his first few months at Stamford Bridge.

Along with Willian, Eden Hazard and Pedro, the Blues now have an array of wide options to call upon.

Conte is familiar with Cuadrado's talents and will have seen plenty of him while he was Italy's manager by attending Juventus matches. He may well get the best out of Cuadrado.
