We are still in the transfer window, and Chelsea have been linked with a number of strikers, as reports claim the Blues are looking for backup for Alvaro Morata.

Chelsea were linked with Andy Carroll before his injury, and now reports are now linking Chelsea with Peter Crouch and Edin Dzeko.

Reacting to the rumours, Conte said: “As you know very well that it is not right to talk about players on other teams. There is a transfer period and if something happens then you might be the one to know first.

When pressed on Peter Crouch rumours, he added: “My answer is the same. I am not interested in this conversation. To be respectful for my players and other players of other clubs. This is period is a transfer market, if something happens you are the first media to know the news.”
