Chelsea could have been waving goodbye to key midfielder N’Golo Kante earlier this year, with reports suggesting that Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain made a late move for the Frenchman. According to Le Parisien, Mauricio Pochettino’s men made an effort to secure his services in the closing days of the January transfer window.
It is certainly no surprise to see PSG make a play for his services, having held an interest in the World Cup winner on a number of occasions in the past. They were apparently tracking him after he memorably lifted the Premier League with Leicester City - only to see Chelsea steal a march and secure his services for £30m. The French outfit then tried again two years later, shortly after the midfielder had played a key role in Les Bleus’ second World Cup win, but were once again left frustrated.
However, they renewed their efforts to sign him only months ago having made contact again in the closing days of the January transfer window. Thankfully for Chelsea, Kante himself was apparently not interested in a switch to the Parc des Princes and did not even respond to PSG.
