Head coach Antonio Conte refuses to discuss his relationship with the Chelsea board, who are said to be unhappy with the Italian's comments on transfers.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has refused to discuss reports which have suggested that the club's board are unhappy with the Italian's comments over transfers.

Conte has suggested that he has little input with who the club sign and sell, despite the Italian allegedly convincing the Blues hierarchy to make a move for Roma forward Edin Dzeko.

Reports have suggested that owner Roman Abramovich is considering Conte's future at Stamford Bridge, but the former Juventus chief has insisted that "nothing has changed".

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "This is something I don't want to discuss with you.

"Nothing has changed [on his future]. There was the summer, then after the summer and nothing has changed. I am happy to work with my players and for this club. I am happy to try everyday to put all myself in my job."

Dzeko and Roma teammate Emerson Palmieri are seemingly the most likely arrivals at the Premier League outfit before the end of the month.
