Chelsea is not a club known for any type of sentimentality. Players are bought, dumped, loaned, and discarded on a regular basis. So, when one sees the case of N’Golo Kante one can’t help but think that finally Chelsea has a player that truly belongs to the club.
N’Golo Kante has played 262 times for The Blues in all competitions and has been a staple of the team winning six championships. Kante can also boast to have the most improbable Premiership championship of all time, winning the title with Leicester City back in 2016.
Now both the player and the club find themselves in a bind as both want the other to sway in contract negotiations. Here is where N’Golo Kante’s contract at Chelsea stands according to reports.
