Chelsea Star NGolo Kante Plays Down Rumours Linking Him With Summer Move to Real Madrid

​Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has insisted that he sees his long-term future at Chelsea, amid rumours linking him with a move to Real Madrid. 

After the re-appointment of Zinedine Zidane as Los Blancos manager, Kante's name has been heavily linked with a potential arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.

Recent reports have suggested that the reigning Champions League holders are chasing a new holding midfielder, following Casemiro's struggles with both form and fitness this campaign.


However, in an interview with RTL (via ​101greatgoals), Blues star Kante effectively put the ​Madrid rumours to rest, by claiming that he still has unfinished business at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I am at ​Chelsea and I still have aims here, what is said elsewhere is not important.

"That is not important. I am at Chelsea and I am focused on that."


The Frenchman only signed a new and improved five-year contract extension with the Premier League side last November, cementing his place as one of Chelsea's biggest earners.

At the announcement of his contract,​ Kante said (as quoted by ​Sky Sports): "I'm happy to extend my time with Chelsea, it has been two beautiful years and I wish for more to come.

"Since I came, I completely improved as a player, challenged myself and got some awards I never thought about. I like the city, I like the club and I am happy to be here for more time."


The France World Cup winner has endured a difficult campaign at Chelsea this year under new boss Maurizio Sarri, with the Italian preferring to use the 27-year-old in a more advanced position in midfield.
