Mauricio Pochettino is set to be granted his first wish as Chelsea manager after N'Golo Kante's contract hint earlier this week.
Pochettino is set to be confirmed as Graham Potter's successor following an extensive period of talks that saw the former Spurs and PSG boss pip the likes of Julien Naglesmann and Luis Enrique to the post. As reported by the Telegraph earlier this week, Kante and Pochettino share a mutual admiration of each other, with both having been keen to work together for some time.
That said, Kante is out of contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer and while talks are progressing over an extension, the Frenchman is yet to put pen-to-paper. Speaking to Sky Sports earlier this week, though, Kante dropped a hint that he will be staying at Chelsea beyond this season.
