Chelsea manager Antonio Conte feels it is unfair to talk about Alexis Sanchez’s future at Arsenal and about his possible link with a move to Stamford Bridge at this point of the season.
Sanchez has only 18 months left on his contract with the Gunners and there have been suggestions that Arsenal are struggling to agree the terms of a new deal with his representatives.
There has also been talk that Chelsea are monitoring the situation and could look to snap up the Chilean from their London rivals in the summer if the current situations drags on until the end of the season.
However, Conte feels it is unfair to talk about such a situation when the summer window is still more than six months away and also believes that the speculation is being disrespectful towards all parties concerned, including his players.
When asked whether it would be foolish on Chelsea’s part to not monitor Sanchez’s situation at Arsenal, the Italian said in a press conference: “I don’t think it's right to talk about players from other teams.

“Next season is very far and I think it shows lack of respect for the player, for the club, for my team and my players.”
Sanchez remains a talismanic figure at Arsenal and Arsene Wenger acted coy when asked about the Chilean’s contract situation yesterday.
