Arsenal will face competition to sign N'Golo Kante in the summer should they wish to pick the Frenchman up for free. The 31-year-old's contract expires at the end of this season and despite ongoing conversations with Chelsea, his future is still undecided.
Kante hasn't played since August due to serious injuries that have kept him out of action so far this term, though he is now getting close to a return to the pitch in the coming weeks. Chelsea have been readying themselves for his departure but haven't yet given up hope of extending his deal.
As an elite midfielder when fit, Kante has attracted plenty of attention from those that know there is rarely a chance to sign such a player without a sizeable transfer fee. From Saudi Arabia to Paris Saint-Germain, Kante will have suitors come the summer. If he's not at Chelsea then Arsenal have long been linked with being his next home.
