Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has responded to reports that he is one of the candidates to take over Chelsea and Tottenham, saying he doesn’t even have time to talk about that.
The London clubs are both deciding who to appoint after both painfully disappointing seasons in which their managers were dismissed.
Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann has been strongly linked to both clubs, while ex-Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a front-runner for Chelsea.

“I have too much on my mind at the moment about wanting to win football matches. That’s all I care about.’

They have claimed 92 points from a possible 129 while being praised for their exciting style of football.
