Arsenal dealt blow as N'Golo Kante's Chelsea exit creates transfer problem

N'Golo Kante is heading out of Chelsea - and it could prove just as big a blow to Arsenal as it is to their London rivals.

Kante has secured iconic Premier League status after being a key performer in Leicester City's incredible 2015/16 title win, which prompted a £32 million move to London. He was again instrumental as the Blues finishing first, making the midfielder the first player since Eric Cantona in 1993 to win back‑to-back top-flight titles in England with two different clubs.

The 32-year-old has also won the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and European Super Cup during his stint at Stamford Bridge, as well as the 2018 World Cup with France. But after an injury hit campaign in 2022/23, he's now set to join Cristiano Ronaldo co in Saudi Arabia having been offered a huge money deal.
