Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko says that he would be "disappointed" if head coach Antonio Conte leaves Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has said that head coach Antonio Conte has never indicated that he may leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Throughout the campaign, reports have persisted over the future of the Italian, who is said to be likely to exit the club at the end of the campaign.

Bakayoko was one of Conte's signings ahead of this season, and the French international has revealed that he wants his boss to remain with the Blues.

The 23-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I don't really pay attention to that. He's never said that he might leave and he's always extremely focused on winning, on doing well in the season.

"As a player, I would be disappointed. We all like working with the coach and having this relationship in the long term. I've been working with him for a year and I've progressed a lot under him but it's really up to the club management, up to him and his entourage but he hasn't said anything."

Chelsea are still fighting to achieve a top-four spot in the Premier League standings, while the West Londoners face Manchester United in the FA Cup final next weekend.
