Real Madrid are said to be interested in Chelsea midfielder Ngolo Kante according to reports from Spain. Kante is widely regarded as one of the top midfielders in world football with the player winning the PFA player of the year some seasons back.

It is understood that manager Zinedine Zidane wants the midfielder at the club in the summer and sees him as the player to replace Luka Modric.

Kante is currently with the French team training ahead of a crucial Euro 2020 clash against Moldova.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are said to be planning a move for Sporting Lisbon ace Bruno Fernandez.
Bruno Fernandez was continually linked to Tottenham over the summer, however, despite strong interest from the capital club, a move for the player never came.

Real Madrid and Manchester United were also credited with the highly-rated Portuguese. With Tottenham struggles this season, it appears a move for the midfielder is on the cards.
Sport witness claimed that Spurs are ready to test the patience of Sporting chiefs with a whooping €75m.
Fernandez on his side has spoken on numerous occasions about his desire to play in the Premiership, though the most recent statement from him are not most telling.

His manager spoke about the need to adequately replace him if eventually, he moves during the January window.
Spurs are planning another meeting with Sporting but it is understood that Spurs will not make any increase on their initial bid for the player.

Sporting are said to want between €60m to €75m for a player who has scored five goals and provided five assists in nine League appearances so far this season.

The report further claims that the club are ready to enter negotiation should their asking price be met by Spurs.
Tottenham are closely monitoring the performance of the player this season and are ready to make a move should Christian Eriksen leave the club in January.
