Conte fully focused on clinching title

-

Antonio Conte is focused on clinching the Premier League title with Chelsea rather than persistent rumours linking him with the vacancy at Inter Milan.

Chelsea go to West Brom tonight seeking the win which would secure the Premier League crown.

The Blues lead second-placed Tottenham by seven points and need one victory from their three remaining games.

Rumours of a return to Italy with Inter have refused to go away in recent months and the sacking of Stefano Pioli has created a vacancy at San Siro.

“I have two years (remaining under) contract with Chelsea,” Conte said. “It’s logical when you start the work in a new club the will is to continue to work, to try to improve your work in many years. For sure, this is my will.

“Now the most important thing is to reach our target. The most important thing is to write the history of the club.

“It’s important now, don’t lose the concentrat­ion, be focused.

“My players are totally focused on the moment. We mustn’t forget that we must take three points to reach this target.”

Midfielder N’Golo Kante is available again after missing Monday’s win over Middlesbro­ugh with a thigh injury.

Everton host Watford tonight in their final home game of the season.
