Chelsea look set to receive a double N'Golo Kante boost as the Frenchman closes in on a return from injury and looks set to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge. After appearing in training this week, the Blues are now very confident Kante will sign a new contract with the club before his current deal expires in the summer, football.london understands.
Ahead of the 2022/23 season, there were concerns at Stamford Bridge that the Blues would be facing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen repeats with Jorginho and Kante. The midfield duo both saw their deals expire in the summer of 2023, but Chelsea look set to avoid suffering a similar outcome a year on.
Jorginho left the club to join Arsenal in the January transfer window for £10million, while progress is going in the right direction regarding an extension for Kante.
