Conte on Solanke

And Conte says will discuss terms with Solanke at the end of the season – although the club will not be held to ransom by the England youth international.

“I don’t know [about his future] I should have a crystal ball to tell you about his future,” Conte said.

“For now he is at Chelsea, I don’t know about his future. Is he leaving? I don’t know, I think this is his will.

“It is best to ask him [why]. I think for a young player to stay in a great team like Chelsea is a great opportunity.

“You have have to repect his decision new messages.

“I have spoken with him to try to understand his will. It is normal.

“We must have a great respect for every decision.

“His contract expires in June and he has the full will to stay in Chelsea or to go away.”
