Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admits he's out of the picture over their transfer plans this month.

Conte admits he is a huge admirer of Arsenal attacker Alexis Sanchez, who would be eligible to play for Chelsea in the Champions League if the club secured him this month.

When asked if he could understand Chelsea fans questioning the club's failure to make a bid, he seemed to find it difficult to provide a good explanation.

"I don't know," he replied.

“I can give my opinion to my club for every situation then they have to make the best decision and that is right. I don't know, I don't know how I can answer you. I don't know."
