Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has dismissed talk of Chelsea losing N'Golo Kante to Real Madrid.

Nicol says there is no way Chelsea will allow Kante to leave the club and does not think the midfielder will want the move anyway.

“Well Sarri's a big fan but how long's Sarri going to be there?" Nicol told ESPN FC.

“And do Chelsea really want to let arguably their best player go? I don't see how that happens whatsoever.

“There's not one reason I can come up with to suggest that Kante would go to Juventus, whether it's through his desire or certainly will have no desire to let him go.

“I'm sorry, Kante leaving Chelsea? No. I think there's more chance of Lampard leaving Chelsea, and that's not very high."
