Chelsea star N’Golo Kante is seeking out a new club ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, according to reports.
The future of French international Kante, of course, has proven something of a hot topic at Stamford Bridge for some time now.
This comes with the former Leicester City standout having now entered the final year of his contract.
In turn, murmurs have begun to spread that Kante could ultimately be on the move next summer, amid understandable interest in his services from across the continent.
And, if the latest word stemming from the media on Thursday is anything to go by, then such an outcome would in fact be welcomed by the powers that be in west London.
As per a report from Santi Aouna of French outlet Footmercato, Chelsea have come to the decision not to offer a new contract to the club’s one-time star midfielder.
The 31-year-old has managed appearances in just two of the Blues’ outings across the season to date, owing to just the latest in an ever-lengthening list of injury issues.
Kante, in turn, is said to be ‘already looking for a new club’.
Not only that, but two clubs tipped as potential landing spots for the Frenchman ahead of next season come in the form of capital rivals of his current employers.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham are understood to be viewed as realistic destinations, owing to Kante’s desire to remain in London.
