Chelsea desperate for Foxes’ dynamic midfielder

CHELSEA are ready to go all-out to try to land Leicester midfielder N’Golo Kante this summer.

According to the Mirror, the Blues are willing to give the France international a five-year deal and treble his wages.

The newspaper reports that new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants to put Kante alongside another of his targets, Roma’s Nainggolan.

Leicester’s title-winning midfielder has attracted interest from several clubs, but Chelsea believe they are in the best position to sign him.

Kante enjoyed a magnificent first season in England, helping Leicester to the most unlikely of Premier League titles, after arriving as a relative unknown from French Ligue 1 side Caen for what has proven to be a bargain £5.6million.

 

The 25-year-old won rave reviews for his work-rate and incredible stamina and earned a place in the PFA Team of the Year.

However, it was always going to be difficult for Leicester to hold onto Kante – even with the lure of Champions League football – and the east Midlands outfit are already resigned to losing him.

Chelsea had an opportunity to sign Kante last season but passed up the chance and they now look likely to face a battle for his signature, with French giants Paris St Germain also keen on the pint-sized dynamo.
