Chelsea look set to be handed a major boost in their efforts to agree a new contract with N'Golo Kante. The 31-year-old, who sees his current deal at Stamford Bridge expire next summer, has attracted the attention of Manchester United this summer, according to The Guardian.
The France international featured 42 times for the Blues this season, though a growing injury record hampered his ability to reach the heights that he once relished. The report claims that United are eager to find out whether the midfielder could be sold this summer, with his contract in west London coming to an end.
It's believed that Chelsea are reluctant to sell the Frenchman, who is a favourite of Tuchel. And, as a result, Erik ten Hag's side have caught on; according to Goal, United are conscious of being used as leverage in Kante's contract negotiations.
