Chelsea boss Conte responds to Martial rumours

Antonio Conte has refused to be drawn on whether Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is a target for Chelsea.

Martial has this week been linked with a summer move to Stamford Bridge amid speculation over the Frenchman’s future.

However, Chelsea boss Conte has consistently refused to comment on transfer speculation and he gave nothing away when asked about Martial at a media conference on Friday afternoon.

Conte: “I think this is not the right moment to speak about this.

“As you know very well, I don’t like to talk about players of other teams. It is disrespectful for the player, my players and the clubs.

“Our focus is on finishing the season in the best possible way.”
