Al-Ittihad have confirmed the signing of N'Golo Kante on a free transfer from Chelsea.
The 32-year-old has moved to the Saudi Pro League side after a seven-year stay at Stamford Bridge, where he made 269 appearances for the Blues in all competitions. Kante, who has been riddled with injury problems in recent seasons, leaves Chelsea after winning six major honours with the club over his seven years after joining from Leicester City in the summer of 2016.
The France international's contract at Chelsea was due to expire on June 30 and despite talks between the player and the club, the midfielder decided it was time for a new challenge. Confirmation of the deal was made late on Tuesday night, with an announcement from his new club.
