Arsenal have been told that Chelsea star N’Golo Kante would turn down the chance to move to the Emirates this summer by former Blues full-back Glen Johnson. It comes as the Gunners were linked with a shock move for the Frenchman.
Should Kante join, the move could solve a problem area for Mikel Arteta, who suffered with a lack of depth last season. The Spaniard has already tried to remedy that, signing four players so far in the window and spending roughly £80million in the process.
The centre-forward role was thought to be the priority, with Gabriel Jesus ’ arrival putting an end to that. The manager will now look to move onto other areas to strengthen, with the addition of European football next campaign.
