'I took no notice of Chelsea rumours' - Murphy focused on Cardiff while revealing England dream

The winger has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge but believes he can return to the top flight with the Bluebirds this season

Josh Murphy insists he has been ignoring reports linking him with a move to Chelsea, instead focusing on securing promotion back to the Premier League with Cardiff City.

The winger earned strong reviews during his debut top-flight season in 2018-19 despite Cardiff coming up short in their bid to avoid relegation to the Championship.

Such performances have seen him linked with Crystal Palace and Burnley, as well as Chelsea; speculation that could prove distracting for a 24-year-old looking to get back to the top of English football.
