Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner is not willing to discuss talk he could be set to join Chelsea this summer for €12m.

The Switzerland international is a player well known to incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, who coached him during his time in charge of Juventus.




Conte is a fan of playing three at the back and it has been suggested that Lichtsteiner could fit the bill for the Italian boss, as he looks to reshape the squad at Chelsea to his liking.

Lichtsteiner is currently focusing on Euro 2016 and is determined not to comment on transfer speculation.
 


Asked about talk of a move to Chelsea, the defender told Swiss daily Blick: "I'm not looking at the rumours circulating."
