Chelsea signs Kante

Chelsea have beaten the likes of Arsenal,
Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid to agree
a sensational summer transfer for Leicester City’s
N’Golo Kante, according to reports from Daily Star
(via Le Perisien ).
French publication Le Perisien claims that the
Premier League side made significant move last
night and are now in the pole position to sign the
combative midfielder in coming few days.
It is believed that Chelsea have agreed a
£29.2million deal which is significantly higher than
what Arsenal had offered earlier this summer.
Leicester City had also received a mega offer
from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG but Kante turned
down the lucrative offer and wanted a Premier
League stay.
Kante has a £20m buyout clause but it would need
Chelsea to pay close to £29million to get the deal
done ahead of PSG and SIPG.
According to Le Perisien, Chelsea have agreed a 5-
year contract with the Premier League winner who
has been one of the best midfielder in last 12
months.
Leicester signed Kante for a meager £6m last
summer and could end making a massive profit of
£23million in a span of just 12 months. Incoming
manager Antonio Conte sees Kante as the perfect
fit to be his midfield enforcer next season.
Kante’s arrival could trigger Nemanja Matic’s exit
from the club, who is linked with a move to
Juventus. Kante is expected to complete his
transfer by the end of this week and could feature
in Conte’s pre-season training at the start of next week
month.
