Karim Benzema has hailed N’Golo Kante as the best box-to-box midfielder in world football after being joined by his compatriot in Saudi Arabia.
The Chelsea star has been locked in negotiations over the past few weeks regarding a free transfer to Al-Ittihad at the end of his contract at Stamford Bridge. His switch has now been confirmed.
Kante, now 32, has put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Saudi side and it has been reported that he could earn around £86m per year. As part of the club’s announcement, Al-Ittihad shared a video message from one of their other big-name recruits, Karim Benzema.
