Video: Stoke's Mark Hughes responds to Chelsea job link

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes was quizzed on suggestions that he is a candidate to become the next Chelsea boss when he faced the media at his press conference today.

Hughes – a former Blues player – dismissed the reports as speculation.

He said it was nice to be mentioned and said the links indicated that he had been going through a successful spell.

But he also joked that last weekend’s 3-0 defeat at Leicester City probably didn’t merit being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
