Reece James and Mason Mount have bid farewell to N'Golo Kante following confirmation of the Frenchman's move to Al-Ittihad. The 32-year-old was offered the chance to extend his stay at Chelsea, but he decided to test himself in the Saudi Pro League instead.
Kante made 269 appearances for the Blues during his seven-year stay at Stamford Bridge, directly contributing towards 29 goals from midfield. He played a major role in helping Chelsea win the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
The France international helped the west Londoners achieve their wildest dreams but, towards the end of his tenure, he struggled to stay fit. Kante was a fan favourite, and he'll be missed just as much by his teammates, who have taken to social media to congratulate him on his new venture.
