Antonio Conte has denied the claim from Gianluca Vialli that he can't wait to leave Chelsea, insisting he is 'fully committed' and 'working very hard' for the club.
Speculation surrounding the Italian's future at Stamford Bridge has been rampant for much of the season, but it reached new heights when Vialli said Conte had grown disillusioned and was counting the days until he can quit.
'Conte can't wait to leave Chelsea,' Vialli told Sky Sport Italia earlier this week. 'He can't stand that they sell or buy players without consulting him.'
Speaking ahead of Chelsea's Premier League clash against West Ham, Conte vehemently denied the suggestion, revealing that while the former Blues star was a friend, they have not been in contact for a year.
