Chelsea players must remain focused on finishing inside the top four, says N’Golo Kante after the surprise statement by Roman Abramovich.
The Russian billionaire has put the club up for sale after 19 highly successful years at the helm, prompting a hugely uncertain period for the Blues, who struggled to fight for titles before his arrival.
A trip to Burnley is up next for Thomas Tuchel’s team and Kante believes the best remedy for the fans’ concerns will be taking care of business on the pitch.
“We were not prepared, it came quick,” the Frenchman told Sky Sports of the statement.
“The only thing we can do, because we don’t control these things, is the play the best we can - as we have always done. That’s the only thing we can control and we want to do well.”
Kante has outlined his intention to stay at Chelsea, with a contract to the end of next season, so long as the club remains competitive.
“We are in a good position for the top four, we are fully focused on going game by game and securing the top four,” he added.
“It will not be easy as we still need to win many games but we train hard and hope to do it, starting this weekend.”
On his own future, he added: “Yes, since I came here I’ve spent many great seasons, with the team, the managers and the fans. I hope we can carry on like this, keep winning, and that’s the way I see the future.”
