Chelsea Manager Antonio Conte Admits He Admire Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez Amid Transfer Links

The Italian tactician insists he wants to focus solely on the Premier League title race for the time being, whilst also saying he feels it would be disrespectful to talk about signing other clubs’ players. Still, Conte suggested he’d be busy in the summer after stating his desire to strengthen and take Chelsea forward. Without mentioning Sanchez specifically, these comments did follow the former Juventus boss gushing over the talents of the unsettled Chile international.

‘I think it’s very disrespectful of players from other teams (to talk about this), but for sure, he’s a top player. I can say this,’ Conte said.

‘But I don’t like to talk about players from other teams because it’s disrespectful for the players of other teams, other clubs and my own players.

‘For us the most important thing is for us to try and finish this league and try to win. Then, once this season is finished, with the club together we will talk about the right way to try and improve our team and our squad.

‘That will be very important, but I don’t see any problems about this. This club has great ambitions. It was so in the past, and it will be so in the future. I’m very happy to be coach of this club.’

Real Madrid Left Back Marcelo Ruled Out for One Month while Toni Kroos will Miss Real Madrid's trip to Alaves

Real Madrid star Toni Kroos is set join Marcelo in the treatment room when Los Blancos visit Alaves on Saturday (23 September) after suffering a rib injury. The news is a fresh concern for Zinedine Zidane as Karim Benzema, Theo Hernandez, Jesus Vallejo and Mateo Kovacic are also ruled out for the visit to Mendizorroza due to various injuries. Kroos, 27, missed the last weekend's 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad due to a fitness problem. The Germany international returned to Zidane's starting line-up for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis and was able to complete the full 90 minutes. However, it looks like Kroos suffered a recurrence of the problem in that game after Real Madrid revealed on Friday morning that the midfielder skipped the final training session before Los Blancos' trip to Vitoria.
