Chelsea head coach, Antonio Conte does not think the club are trying to sign Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.

Manchester United appeared favourites for the wantaway Chile forward when Manchester City pulled out of the race on Monday evening.

But Henrikh Mkhitaryan could scupper United's hopes of signing Alexis Sanchez and reports have suggested Chelsea are preparing to make a move.

Asked at his press conference on Tuesday if the west London club were actively trying to sign Sanchez, Conte replied: "I don't know. I don't think so. I don't know, but I don't think so."

Conte, speaking ahead of Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay at home to Norwich, was reluctant to discuss the transfer market.

"About the transfer market, I prefer to talk to the club, also to give opinions," he said, adding, "I repeat: I don't want to give my opinion about the transfer market."
