Leicester City star N’Golo Kante and Chelsea have reached an agreement over a possible transfer to the Stamford Bridge, as reported by Radio Monte Carlo. This comes just a few hours after LCFC boss Claudio Ranieri had told the France international to make a quick decision about his future prior to the beginning of their pre-season fixtures.
Kante played a pivotal role in the Foxes’ historic title win last season. His brilliant performance for the King Power Stadium outfit attracted the attention of top European clubs but the Blues’ are said to be leading the race to sign him.

Although the exact transfer fee is yet to be revealed, sources close to both parties hint at around 30 million pounds. If the deal goes through, the 25-year-old could become the second signing for new club boss Antonio Conte after landing the signature of Mitchy Batshuayi earlier this month.
