As N’Golo Kante rejects Chelsea’s new contract Potter identifies 4 potential replacement
According to Metro, a contract renewal between Chelsea and N’Golo Kante has not yet been reached.
The Premier League powerhouses made a fresh contract offer to the French midfielder, whose current term with the Blues expires in the summer of 2019.
Kante is thought to have received a two-year contract from Chelsea with an additional year’s option.
However, the 31-year-old seems keen on a longer deal, with reports suggesting that he wants an outright three-year contract instead.
Should both parties fail to reach an agreement, Kante will become a free agent when his contract expires next summer.
The France international’s potential departure could possibly leave a huge gap in Chelsea’s midfield.
On that note, here are four players who could possibly replace the Frenchman at Stamford Bridge.
Moises Caicedo – Brighton & Hove Albion
Joao Palhinha – Fulham
Edson Alvarez – Ajax
Boubacar Kamara – Aston Villa
January transfer window is around the corner and the Blues will be looking forward to make some stunning signings to strengthen the squad.
