Chelsea midfield star N'Golo Kante is nearing an agreement to sign a contract with Spanish giants Barcelona in the coming weeks, according to reports. It comes as the Frenchman nears the end of his current deal at Stamford Bridge, which could see him leave on a free transfer.
Kante has been a crucial player for the Blues since joining them from Leicester City, guiding the side to a Premier League and a Champions League with his impressive performances. However, his influence has dwindled in recent years, with injuries becoming a huge problem for the midfielder.
When asked earlier this season about his contract situation, Graham Potter told reporters that his injury situation is more important. He said: "The most important thing for us and for me is that we help him get fit. That's the focus. He's got a long road ahead of him so we have to make sure that we get him the right treatment, we help him get back fit and strong, and once he's enjoying his football we can think about those things then."
