Mourinho plays down Vardy, Kane rumors

Amid links with in-form strikers Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy, Jose Mourinho would not be drawn on Chelsea's transfer plans.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is not focused on the upcoming January transfer window despite reports linking the Premier League champion with Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy.

Mourinho's men have endured a difficult start to their title defense and, despite a 1-0 win over Norwich City last time out, lie 15th in the Premier League ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham.

Vardy and Kane - two of the league's three leading goalscorers - have been suggested as potential targets for Mourinho, although the Portuguese played down the speculation.
