N'Golo Kante is on the verge of signing a lucrative contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad and sealing his Chelsea exit after seven years at Stamford Bridge.
The Frenchman is out of contract with the Blues at the end of this month and has opted against prolonging his stay in West London, instead opting for a two-year deal thought to be worth around £86m a season with an option for a further year.
Delegates from Al-Ittihad flew to London to hold talks with Kante on Tuesday and reached an agreement with the former Leicester man. This, in turn, could spell bad news for Arsenal and their transfer hopes this summer.
