''joining Real Madrid is not important to me'' -- N’Golo Kante

Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante, has dismissed reports linking him with a move away from the Stamford Bridge to join Champions League holders, Real Madrid this summer.

Kante has drawn interest from Real Madrid in the past few days, following the re-appointment of Zinedine Zidane.

The France international has, however, said that he still has targets at Chelsea, stressing that he is not pushing for a move away from the Blues.

When asked about the transfer speculation linking him to Real Madrid, Kante was quoted by Metro UK as saying: “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.”

Kante will hope to lead Chelsea to victory when they tackle Cardiff City in the Premier League fixture on Sunday.
