Chelsea transfer links are 'flattering', but my only focus is Fenerbahce, insists defender Simon Kjaer

Simon Kjaer has said it was 'flattering' to be linked with Premier League leaders Chelsea in January but played down talks of a move away from Fenerbahce.

The defender has lit up the Europa League this season with a succession of solid performances at the back, which helped the Turkish club top their group ahead of Manchester United.

Antonio Conte was reportedly snooping around the defender during the January window, but the Denmark international claimed there was 'nothing in' the links.
