Juventus boss Antonio Conte says he is flattered by rumours linking him with Chelsea but is staying focused on the Italians.

Juve are on course to win the Serie A title again under the leadership of Conte, while they are also heading for the quarter-finals of the Champions League after defeating Celtic 3-0.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has added Conte to his list of possible targets as doubts surround the long-term future of interim boss Rafa Benitez, but Conte played it cool when quizzed about the rumours.

"If I receive compliments I am happy because this means we are doing a good job, it means that one year ago the club made a good choice," he revealed.

"I always say my professional growth is linked to the growth of the team. I am close to my players and they are close to me."
