Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez. With the 28-year-old nearing the end of his contract with the Gunners, it’s believed it’s only a matter of time before he moves to the West of London.

The Chilean’s statement about remaining in London only made the links with Chelsea stronger.

Conte revealed his admiration for the 28-year-old per Simon Johnson of the London Evening Standard: “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.”
