Sevilla defender Jules Kounde has welcomed interest from Real Madrid.
Kounde is said to be a target for Real on recommendation of coach Zinedine Zidane.
Asked about the reports, the youngster told AS: "It is always good that there are clubs like Real Madrid that follow you, but I am very focused on Sevilla, I really want to pass this round and win this Cup (Europa League). It is the only thing in my head and that of the squad."
Asked about Zidane being an admirer, he added: "So it seems! Zidane is a legend in Bordeaux, France and the world. He has been one of the best ever."
