Leicester’s N’Golo Kante set to snub Arsenal and Real Madrid for this club

Following his superb season in the Premier League and at Euro 2016 for hosts France, Leicester have offered Kante a new £100,000-a-week deal to stay with the champions.

But Kante is currently siding towards leaving the King Power Stadium, with Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United and Arsenal battling for his signature.

Of the five clubs, Kante is believed to fancy the opportunity of working with Antonio Conte at Chelsea the most but he has not yet ruled out the possibility of going elsewhere.

Conte will start work as Chelsea’s new head coach immediately after the Euros and wants a midfielder who can get all over the pitch, which makes 25-year-old Kante the perfect option.

Kante has a £20million release clause in his Leicester contract, although Chelsea may yet have to pay over that figure to land him.

Despite the fact £20m triggers the clause, the terms of the agreement are believed to state that Leicester are only required to accept the highest bid over that figure.
