Chelsea are now very confident N'Golo Kante will sign a new contract with the club before his current deal expires in a few months' time, football.london understands.
The 31-year-old midfielder's current contract is due to run out at the end of June but the Blues are determined to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge. Kante has played just twice this season due to a serious hamstring injury but the club are adamant he can still play a big part in Graham Potter's plans going forward.
Kante has not played since Potter was appointed towards the start of September after suffering an injury against Tottenham in mid-August. However, as football.london revealed recently, Kante has been doing some light training with the rest of the Chelsea squad at Cobham recently as he nears his return to first-team action.
