Chelsea Close To Signing French Midfielder

Chelsea are in advanced discussions to sign N’Golo Kante from Leicester City this summer, according to reports.

The Blues are believed to be on the lookout for a number of new signings this summer as Antonio Conte prepares for his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge.

Kante was one of the Premier League’s standout performers last season after his consistent displays in central midfield for Leicester City helped to propel Claudio Ranieri’s men to the top-flight title.

Kante has been touted as a target for both Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks amid the speculation about his future at the King Power Stadium.

Now, respected football journalist Tancredi Palmeri has claimed that Chelsea are in advanced talks about the possibility of bringing Kante to Stamford Bridge this summer in what would be Conte’s first signing in west London.
