Doria focuses on reality over Chelsea dream

Marseille defender Doria is flattered by links to Chelsea but does not want to be distracted from improving his game with the Ligue 1 side.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is reportedly keen to bolster his defence, with frailties at the back undermining some of the progress made during the early months of his Stamford Bridge reign.

"Yes, I heard about [Chelsea's reported interest] through social media," Doria said.

"But I think that I need to continue to do my work. We have played eight games, I need to continue. 

"I don't know [if it is true]. I found out about it like you did. But that should not stop one from dreaming, they are one of biggest clubs in Europe. 

"I am happy about these rumours, but what is most important is to continue playing well."
