Chelsea will reportedly put star midfielder N’Golo Kante up for sale at a reduced price this summer – and Manchester United could attempt to lure him to Old Trafford. Kante has been a key player for the Blues since joining them six years ago but only started 21 Premier League matches last season.
Kante moved to the Premier League in 2015 when he joined Leicester from French side Caen for just £6million. And he had an instant impact in England as he helped the Foxes land the Premier League title against the odds.
His success in the east Midlands meant Chelsea were willing to shell out six times the amount Leicester had paid for him – but the fee proved to be a bargain. Since moving to Stamford Bridge, Kante has been a prominent figure at the heart of the Blues’ team and has won the Premier League, the Champions League, the Club World Cup and the FA Cup.
But last season, Kante endured a spate of injuries and was forced to miss crucial matches for his side. And at the age of 31, his injury problems could worsen.
