Zinedine Zidane Has Mind Set On Signing Premier League Player

Real Madrid are just one game from their first league title since 2012 and one game from defending their Champions League title but Zinedine Zidane has his eyes on a Premier League star to strengthen his already incredible team.

Real are three points clear of Barcelona with one game to go of the season but they can't take their foot off the gas as Barcelona's greater head-to-head record means if they lose tonight their fierce rivals could yet win La Liga.

However that does seem very unlikely with Real in such excellent form and playing brilliant football. Los Blancos are also favourites to become the first team to retain the Champions League.

With all that and a team that includes the likes Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos how does Zidane go about making his team even better?

Real have long been linked with a move for a goalkeeper with Premier League duo David de Gea and Thibaut Courtois the two favourites for a big money move to the Spanish capital.

However, according to Spanish paper Don Balon, it is another star from England that Zidane has asked for in the summer. The newspaper says that the Frenchman would like Florentino Perez to sign Chelsea's N'Golo Kante.

In many way Kante wouldn't be the usual player that Real would be linked with but with their side already having so much stardom contained within it already a move for the Frenchman could be perfect.

Casemiro has played in the infamous 'Makelele Role' that was made famous during the former Chelsea midfielder's time at Real but there are questions about the Brazilian's disciplinary record and injury problems.

Reports have suggested that Real are willing to offer £50 million to attempt the former Leicester City player to La Liga, a profit of £20 million in just one season for the Blues.

It seems unlikely but it would be a huge move for club and player!
