Antonio Conte wants Chelsea to play with four forwards when he takes over as Stamford Bridge, the Daily Mirror reckon.
The Italy boss, who will start work at Chelsea after the European Championship, has adopted a 3-5-2 system for much of his managerial career.
But the Mirror say he wants to play different way in English football and plans to use a 4-2-4 formation.
Conte is said to have told scouts and agents he wants players who could fit in to an attacking style.

Speculation continues over which players Chelsea might sign this summer, with the Mirror again suggesting that Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan is a top target.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail claim Chelsea and Manchester United are both interested in Antoine Griezmann despite apparent doubts about his suitability for the Premier League.
The Mail say sources close to the Atletico Madrid star believe he is not ready for a move to England and would find the division’s physicality tough to handle.
