Florent Malouda has told Todd Boehly why Chelsea must tie N'Golo Kante to a new deal. The 31-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge with his contract set to expire in June.
However, while an agreement is yet to be reached, football.london understands that the Blues are very confident that Kante will commit his future to the west London outfit before he becomes a free agent in a few months time. It's believed that Chelsea are determined to extend the France international's stay, despite the France international having missed much of the season due to injury.
football.london understand that the Blues are adamant Kante can still play a big part in Graham Potter's future plans. Following the arrival of Enzo Fernandez in January, the Frenchman and the Argentine have been tipped to be a match made in heaven.
