Newly signed Chelsea man N'Golo Kante admits Antonio Conte's convincing speech played a key role in his decision of leaving Leicester City to join the Blues.
Last season, Kante stole the headlines for his impressive displays on the pitch, which had several clubs interested in the 25-year-old. However, he has penned a deal with the Blue Lions and recently took to Instagram to reveal his new manager's speech convinced him to seal the deal with the English club.
"At the beginning of the new season, I chose to join @chelseafc.
"It is a great club, which has just recruited a great coach and want to reach high ambitions I share. The club's project and the coach's speech have convinced me to join this new ambitious adventure.
"I am now waiting to see my new club and give everything for a successful summer... And season of course!!"
He also thanked his fans for all their support throughout a remarkable year with Leicester City, as the underdog side lifted their first ever Premier League title.
"The 2015/2016 past season will remain as an important season for me.
"After a fantastic season, it ended with a final of Euro 2016. We lost, but we can be proud. The fervour of the French people have given us strength and I wanted to say THANK YOU ALL."
In addition, he took advantage of the opportunity to pay a tribute to the victims of the Nice attack.
"Of course it has to be appreciated according to the attack that struck in Nice in July 14th and I have at this point a sincere thought for all the victims and their families.
"This season, I also discovered the Premier League with @lcfc. I want to thank the leaders, my team-mates and Claudio Ranieri for this fantastic season that saw us winning the title of England.
"Their confidence and also the fans will forever remain in my memory. And I again thank you all."
