Inter Milan right-back and Netherlands international Denzel Dumfries has reacted to Chelsea’s transfer interest.

Dumfries was named Man of the Match as Netherlands beat USA 3-1 in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

Dumfries provided the assist for the first two goals and scored the final one himself to send the Dutch through.

Asked about a possible move to Chelsea after his Match of the Match performance against USA, he replied:

“Of course it’s a compliment. But when you put the Nerazzurri shirt on that is also a big compliment. I’m focused on the national team and I play for a very, very beautiful club in Italy.

“I’m very proud that I can play for Inter so I am focused on nothing else but the national team and Inter.”
