Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante remains high on transfer agenda of Real Madrid.

The Daily Express says Real manager Zinedine Zidane wants to bring a midfielder to the Bernabeu this summer with Manchester United star Paul Pogba top of his wishlist.

However, if the French World Cup winner cannot be brought to Madrid, Pogba's countrymen Kante will be targeted instead.

Real chiefs are said to have started looking at the transfer of Kante, who under manager Maurizio Sarri has been deployed as a playmaker rather than a defensive midfielder.

It comes after last season Thibaut Courtois moved from London to Madrid for £35million and the keeper's Belgian team-mate Eden Hazard looks to be following suit.
