N'Golo Kante and Chelsea at crossroads on new contract deal

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.
