Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has said that he "doesn't think" that his side are interested in signing Arsenal winger Alexis Sanchez.

The Blues were linked with the Chilean international on Monday evening following reports that Manchester City had ended their interest in the 29-year-old.

Manchester United are also understood to be plotting a move for Sanchez, who has entered the final months of his Arsenal contract.

Conte was pressed on the club's potential signings at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, in which he responded to a question about Sanchez.

"I don't know, I don't think so," the Italian said when asked about the player. "About the transfer market - I prefer to talk to the club and give an opinion and I repeat that I don't want to give my opinion on that."
