Conte urges Moses not to be distracted by Barca rumours
The Nigeria international has been a revelation for Chelsea this season after Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, but that has prompted rival clubs to show an interest in his services.
Conte wouldn't be drawn on whether Chelsea would be ready to offer Moses a new deal to ward off interest, but he was emphatic about his desire for his players to not lose focus during their impressive six-match winning run.
“For everything [regarding contracts], there is the right time to speak,” Conte told a press conference at Cobham Training Centre. "About Victor, I repeat, it's important to be focused on the present. It's important to be focused game by game.
"Now we are doing very well. But, for me, I don't want to think that my players see 'so long' (into the future). I like to think my players are focused on the present, not the future so long-term.
"We have just started in this league and, after a period, two bad defeats, we won six games in a row. This is important, now, to continue this. To be focused, to work for the present. Not to look at the future.”
