Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has said he has not been approached by Paris Saint-Germain to take over from Unai Emery this summer.

PSG announced on Friday that Emery will leave the French club at the end of the season when his two-year deal expires.

Despite leading the Ligue 1 giants to six trophies during his spell at the Parc des Princes, Emery's inability to steer the club to the Champions League title is likely to have played a role in his departure.

Over in England, and Conte's future at Chelsea - who he led to the Premier League title last season - continues to be speculated about.

But the Italian, whose contract at Chelsea runs out in the summer of 2019, has said that PSG have not approached him about replacing Emery.

Speaking to reporters at Cobham on Friday, Conte said: "No [there has been no approach from PSG].

"But my answer is always the same. I'm committed to this club. I have a contract with this club. My intention is to continue to work with this club."

Former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly the frontrunner to take over from Emery at the Parc des Princes.
