Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says winger Juan Cuadrado will return to the club after a season-long loan at Italian champions Juventus.

The Colombian, who moved to Italy last August after failing to make an impact in his first season at Stamford Bridge, scored four goals in 28 league matches last season to help Juventus to a Serie A and Coppa Italia double.

And the 28-year-old, who cost the club £23m from Fiorentina in 2014, will now get a second chance in west London under Conte.

"Juan Cuadrado is a Chelsea player. He will come back very soon. He's in our squad, I'm very happy to have him and train him," said Conte, who coached Juve to three successive Serie A titles from 2012 to 2014.

"I wanted him when I was a coach at Juventus and he will come back very soon and train and play with us. Now, he's a Chelsea player and he'll stay with us. If something changes you'll know."
