N’Golo Kante Accepts £172m Offer To Leave Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante is close to accepting a £172m deal to join Saudi club Al Ittihad.

Kante has been a pivotal player for the Blues since joining in 2016, making 269 appearances

In his seven seasons at the club, the Frenchman has lifted the Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup.

Last season was, however, a luckless one for him as he was restricted to just seven league appearances due to a nagging knee injury.

 

N’Golo Kante Accepts £172m Offer To Leave Chelsea

 

With his Chelsea deal set to expire this June and the 32-year-old not interested in a renewal, the industrious midfielder look set to favour the highest bidder for his services.

Al Ittihad seemed to have matched his interest having tabled a two-year contract worth around £86m a year, according to Daily Mail.

Kante is nearing terms agreement with the Saudi side to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Middle East.
