Transfer news: Conte speaks on signing Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has responded to rumours that the club is interested in signing Leicester star, Jamie Vardy this January.

Last season, the England striker was linked with a move to Chelsea and Arsenal but the 31-year-old striker remained at the King Power Stadium.

There have been reports suggesting that Chelsea are eyeing a move for Vardy once again as Conte searches for attacking reinforcements, with Michy Batshuayi seemingly out of chances as Alvaro Morata’s back-up.

Asked whether the Chelsea board has considered bringing the Englishman to Stamford Bridge, Conte said, “No, honestly we didn’t speak about him, but I repeat we are talking about a really good player.

“For sure Vardy is a really good player and I don’t like to speak about players of other teams, but in this case we are not talking about transfer market.’

“I appreciate a lot this player because he is a really good player, Vardy.

“He played for the national team and is scoring with regularity in this league and is a good player, but this different — I am talking about him because you ask me and not the transfer market

The Italian also admitted Brazilian forward, Kenedy may be sent out on loan. . “In this case we have two solutions,” Conte said.
