Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp admits he is honoured to be linked to Chelsea, but says he has no interest in moving to London.

The German has been mentioned as a possible candidate, alongside Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and Barcelona's Pep Guardiola, but while Klopp is flattered he is happy in Westphalia.

"I can turn them down straight away," he told Sky television after his side's dramatic German Cup semi-final victory over Greuther Furth on Tuesday night.

"I will not be moving there. But I do think it is cool that I am being named in the same breath as Mourinho and Guardiola.

"That is enough for me - that is already a personal triumph, but I am not available, sorry."
