Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte says that it would be "disrespectful" to comment on rumours linking the Blues with a move for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has refused to speak about reports linking the Blues with an approach for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Chelsea would look to sign the French international during the summer transfer window, with the attacker continuing to find himself in and out of Jose Mourinho's starting lineup.

However, Conte - whose own future remains uncertain - has claimed that it would be "disrespectful" to comment on the speculation.

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "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's disrespectful for the other players, my players and the other clubs. Our focus is on finishing this season in the best possible way."

Martial - who has allegedly turned down a contract extension at Old Trafford - has only started 21 matches in the Premier League and Champions League this season.
