French media claim N’Golo Kante’s move to Chelsea is ‘done’

We're not saying it *is* a done just yet, but if these reports are right, Chelsea might well have just pulled off one of the deals of the summer.

Reports in his native France are now suggesting that N'Golo Kante will move to Stamford Bridge, having agreed a five-year deal with the London club. RMC Sport are claiming that the 25-year-old is due to have a medical with the club in the next 48 hours. In return, Leicester will receive €36m (that's just shy of £30m in real money). https://twitter.com/F8Piraux/status/753913840891494400 Kante, who has just featured for France at Euro 2016, was a key player for Claudio Ranieri's Premier League-winning side last season having joined Leicester from Caen a year ago. He has been linked with a host of clubs already this summer, with Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said to have been considering a move to take him to the Bernabeu. A move to Chelsea would represent quite a coup for new manager Antonio Conte, especially given that the club are unable to offer Kante Champions League football in the season ahead. In contrast to the fresh reports from France, Sky Sports claim that the defensive midfielder has been offered  a new contract with the English champions.
