The 25-year-old joined the Foxes from Caen last summer for £5.6m before excelling in his debut season the Premier League, providing a string of workmanlike performances to help propel Claudio Ranieri's side towards an unlikely title triumph.
Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are among his suitors but Kanté, who hopes to break into France's starting line-up for Euro 2016 this summer, insists his focus remains on cementing his place in Didier Deschamps’ thoughts.
"I do not pay too much attention to everything that is said." he told L’Equipe. "For now, I am in Leicester and I focus on the Euros.
"I think that my season at Leicester surprised everybody. People liked to see a new Premier League champion. We had a magnificent season.
"And then, my debut with France went well. Maybe my journey also helps compared to other people who come from amateur football. I try to stay the same. I am not aware that my personality is different."
Meanwhile, the Foxes appear to be closing in on their first summer signing. Ron-Robert Zieler, the Germany goalkeeper, is set for talks after Hannover 96 confirmed he is due in the England this week. Zieler, 27, is reported to have a £2.6m release clause in his contract with the recently relegated Bundesliga side.
