Antonio Conte's new two-year deal at Chelsea will bring him more money but the fact the length of contract was unaltered has led Betway to believe the Italian may not be at Stamford Bridge for the long term.

The firm quote 2-1 that he is still Chelsea's manager on the opening day of the 2019-20 campaign and he is 2-5 to have departed by the end of his contract, although Conte can be backed at 9-2 to leave Chelsea during this season.

It's not been a particularly happy summer for Conte, who missed out on number one forward target Romelu Lukaku, but reports suggest Chelsea are close to signing Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata to replace the unwanted Diego Costa.

Paris St-Germain are said to be continuing their pursuit of Barcelona's Neymar and the Brazilian is 9-4 with Ladbrokes to leave for France. It's 2-7 that he remains at Barca.

Alexis Sanchez's future has been the subject of much debate throughout the off-season and it remains unclear as to whether he will stick with Arsenal. Coral are 4-6 Sanchez stays and it's 11-10 that he goes elsewhere.

Joe Hart's decision to head to West Ham on a season-long loan deal has enhanced his chances of maintaining his position as England's number one, at least in the eyes of Ladbrokes who rate the Hammers keeper 1-3 to start the first match at the World Cup.

Jack Butland is next on the list at 7-2 from Everton's summer signing Jordan Pickford, who is seen as a 5-1 chance should the Three Lions make the finals in Russia.
