The pair won the Serie A title together at Inter in 2008-09 before Ibrahimovic joined Barcelona.

Conte reveals where David Luiz will play for Chelsea

The Italian insists his new signing's best position is at centre-back, prompting fresh speculation the head coach will utilise his preferred 3-5-2 formation

Antonio Conte has hinted at utilising his preferred 3-5-2 formation at Chelsea after revealing David Luiz will play as a centre-back.

The Brazilian returned to Stamford Bridge in a shock move on deadline day as Conte finally landed the defensive reinforcement he had been seeking for much of the summer.

Conte has used a three-man defence successfully with both Juventus and Italy and now has five first-team players - with Luiz joining Kurt Zouma, John Terry, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic - capable of playing at centre-back.

"I think David Luiz is a centre-back, he's played a lot of games in that position," Conte told the club's official website.

"I know sometimes he's played as a central midfielder but in my mind the idea is to utilise him in the right position which, for me, is centre-back.

"He's played with Chelsea previously and he will bring a good personality."

Juanfran: Simeone is world's best - I can't imagine Atletico without him

The Argentine coach is the best in the world, according to the right-back, who is sure he will remain in charge of the club beyond this season and into their new stadium

Juanfran expects Diego Simeone to remain at Atletico Madrid beyond this season, stating he cannot imagine the club without him in charge.

Simeone is under contract until June 2020, but has been linked with several top clubs and national teams after guiding Atletico to the Liga title in 2013-14, as well as two Champions League finals, losing to Real Madrid on each occasion. 

Atleti are set to leave their historic Vicente Calderon home at the conclusion of the 2016-17 campaign, with Spain international Juanfran convinced Simeone will want to lead the club through a period of off-field transition. 

The Argentine, though, may seek to reassess his future after FIFA rejected Atleti's appeal against a transfer ban, meaning the club will be unable to register and field new players for the next two transfer windows.

"I'm convinced that next year he will be our coach," Juanfran told the club's website before news of the judgement was released.

"He is excited, as we all are, with the new stadium. This year is the last in the Calderon, and all the Atleticos are going to live something special, I'm sure. 

"Everything in this life has to end, but to this day, I don't see an Atletico Madrid without Simeone. He's the best coach in the world and the best coach for this Atletico Madrid." 

Atletico have opened the league season with frustrating draws at home to Deportivo Alaves and away to Leganes.

Juanfran acknowledged it has been a disheartening start to the campaign, citing the increased expectations that accompany the team following their recent success as a factor. 

"The dressing room is better than ever," he said.

"We have had results that we would have preferred not having, but we only look forward to winning. I'm convinced that if we can win in Vigo, things will be seen differently. The team is doing well and we're getting players back from the national teams. 

"We will have a great match and we're going to win on Saturday. The team is doing well and we are not alarmed or nervous. 

"Atletico Madrid set the bar so high in the past few years that there is not a lot of patience. But we have a great squad. Every year we get better, and every year the club makes a bigger effort, and every year we have a better squad." 

RUMOURS: Chelsea to rival Man Utd for Griezmann

The two Premier League giants are long-time admirers of the Atletico Madrid star, with a €100 million release clause not putting off a potential move next summer

Chelsea are ready to rival Manchester United for the signing of Antoine Griezmann, according to The Telegraph .

The Stamford Bridge outfit have been tracking the Atletico Madrid for two years and are wary of United stepping up their own interest.

Griezmann has a €100m (£84m) release clause on the contract he signed in June, but the figure is not putting off Antonio Conte & Co.

The Italian made offers for both Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku during the summer, in addition to the £30 million signing of Michy Batshuayi from Marseille, and are now prepared to wait nearly a year to land a big-name striker.

'Don't go to Leicester, they're crap!' - Gerrard's advice to young Galaxy fan

The former Liverpool midfielder advised a Galaxy supporter to pick his old club, Barcelona or Real Madrid over the Foxes, suggesting they were not as good as one might think

LA Galaxy star Steven Gerrard might not be able to show his face around Leicester for some time, after bad-mouthing the Premier League champions to a young fan. 

The former Liverpool midfielder took part in a 'ride-along' with the lucky Galaxy supporter, who grilled him on the big issues of the day. 

And amid pearls of wisdom on the English weather, Zinedine Zidane and Landon Donovan, Gerrard was horrified when his guest stated he would love to play for the Foxes.

"Leicester?! Why?! What about Liverpool?" he exclaimed in astonishment. 

"Or Barcelona, or Real Madrid, don't go to Leicester, they're crap!"

We will have to wait and see what Claudio Ranieri's reaction to the video will be, although it might well reference the fact his "crap" club has one more Premier League title than Gerrard and Liverpool can boast.

RUMOURS: Pogba's ex-team-mates 'betrayed' by Manchester United move

The France international broke the world transfer record in the summer with his move to Old Trafford, but the decision to leave has apparently not gone down well in Turin

Paul Pogba's blockbuster move from Juventus to Manchester United has left his old team-mates feeling betrayed, according to Tuttosport. 

The France midfielder smashed the world transfer record with his return to Old Trafford, after a saga that lasted for weeks before his departure from Turin was finally confirmed. 

But according to reports, stars like Paulo Dybala expected Pogba to stay at least another season with the Italian champions and his decision to leave was not taken well in the dressing room.
