premier league | it's not catenaccio

INTER MILAN, REAL MADRID EYEING CHELSEA MIDFIELDER

Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly prepared to raid the Premier League for one of the best defensive midfielders in the competition as European clubs plan for both the January transfer market and next summer’s transfer market.

Chelsea star N'GoloKante is undoubtedly one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League and the Frenchman is said to be attracting serious attention from Inter Milan in the Italian topflight.
According to The Sun, Kante could link up with Antonio Conte at Inter Milan next summer as the Italian tactician believes that the acquisition of a workaholic midfielder like Kante can transform his team into serious title challengers.

Alex Sandro only focused on Juventus

Juventus left-back Alex Sandro has stressed that he is only focused on his job with the club despite the continuous speculation over his future. The Brazil international has been heavily tipped for a Premier League move over the past 12 months, and he has suggested that he could stay put with the Old Lady for the duration of his contract.

Max Allegri's side allowed an early two-goal lead slip on Tuesday night as they settled for a 2-2 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg, but Sandro remains optimistic that the club will get the job done in the return fixture at the Wembley Stadium, he said: "The draw against Tottenham was not a negative result: we played a great game and so did our opponents. In the Champions League, the games are always difficult and we have to go to London with the intention to win."
