INCREDIBLE: He's one of the best in his position and Chelsea are letting him go
The Blues think he's no longer at his best so he could be free to move at the end of the season
It's a bit of news that nobody could've seen coming: Ngolo Kante is moving away from Chelsea. The dynamic midfielder earned heaps of praise as one of the most energetic and tactically smart ball-winners in the Premier League, but he'll have to continue his career away from Stamford Bridge.
Ngolo Kante will be switching up from Chelsea blue at the end of the season
Kante was a revelation after his title-winning season with Leicester City in 2015-16, and has continued to show his quality since moving to the Blues at the end of that season. However, his time with the West London side is coming to an end. Over the last three seasons, the Frenchman has often experienced physical niggles that took him off the teamsheet and reduced his playing time. The new Chelsea hierarchy see this as the beginning of the end and it has recently become public that they won't be offering Kante a new deal.
Other European clubs will undoubtedly want to seize this opportunity if Chelsea aren't. Kante was named as part of the Champions League team of the season during the Blues winning campaign in 2021 and he continues to hold big value. However, if reports are to be believed, he might not be moving very far.
As reported by football website footmercato.net, Kante wishes to remain in London, and this leaves him only with the options of Arsenal and Tottenham as the two most prominent candidates to acquire his services, with the likes of West Ham United, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Brentford the other Premier League clubs in London.
Kante was a big part of Chelsea's Champions League-winning campaign
Since joining the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015, Ngolo Kante has played over 200 games in the English top flight and won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a Champions League and a FIFA Club World Cup among other trophies. He was also named the PFA Player of the Year in 2017.
