N’Golo Kante has insisted that he wants to stay at Chelsea and play a part in the club’s ‘exciting project’. The 32-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge with his contract set to expire at the end of next month. When asked if he’d like to be a part of the Blues’ new era,
N’Golo Kante replied: “Yeah for sure. It’s an exciting project for the club. Unfortunately the season has not been a standout for Chelsea. I’m sure everyone wants to go this way; the way of success, the way of winning titles. I hope this club will fight again in this direction. Let’s see where I will be but I hope that this is a change for the club, that is most important.”
Then, on his injury,
N’Golo Kante added: “It was the purpose of the surgery, to come back strong. At the moment I feel good, hopefully it’ll carry on like this. For the last few weeks I’ve been playing I’ve felt very good. I hope I will carry on for the rest of the season and hopefully the most difficult part is behind me, and I’m able to forget it – enjoying football again, enjoying wins again and enjoying hopefully more success.”
According to the Mirror last month, Kante is joined by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Barcelona’s transfer shortlist this summer. The report states that the Spanish giants want to offer the midfielder a two-year contract, but it’s said that he will have to accept a reduced wage.
