Chelsea transfer news: Blues boss Antonio Conte refuses to comment on links with Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has revealed he will allow Asmir Begovic to leave the club if he can find a suitable replacement, but offered no comment on links with Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

The Blues are considering an offer from Bournemouth for 29-year-old Begovic, who is back-up to first choice Thibaut Courtois.

It has been widely reported Conte is eyeing up a deal for Celtic and Scotland No.1 Gordon as his replacement.

But while the boss confirmed Begovic will start Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at home to Brentford, he declined to talk about any potential targets.
