Chelsea have reportedly opened talks with French midfielder N’Golo Kante over a possible move. The 25 year old shot to fame last season, after playing a crucial role in Leicester City’s historic titile triumph.

Talks had been held up due to Kante’s participation in the European Cup. France’s campaign ultimately ended in heartbreak as an extra time goal by Eder secured a first major title for Portugal. Kante, who had started his team’s group stage matches, was not picked to start the final.

Kante has a 20 million pound release clause. Chelsea are likely to face stiff competition from several top flight clubs including Juventus, Real Madrid and Manchester United. The London club are also handicapped by the fact that unlike their competitors, they cannot offer continental football.
