Kante Wants Chelsea Stay Despite Inter Interest

By Daily sports on September 2, 2020

N’Golo Kante is not pushing for an exit from Chelsea despite interest from Antonio Conte's Inter, who are considering signing the 29-year-old Frenchman to boost their midfield.

The France international is ready to turn down interest as he is settled in west London, but a large offer from the Serie A giants could tempt the Stamford Bridge club after an injury-hit season.

Still, Frank Lampard hasn't communicated that he wants his senior star out despite an aggressive recruitment drive this summer.

Lampard recently gave Kante the captaincy in the club's most recent friendly and competitive matches due to Cesar Azpilicueta being out injured.

The World Cup winner is currently away on international duty with Olivier Giroud and is thought to be in good health after an injury-hit season last year.

Kante missed almost 50 per cent of his side's matches last season, which became a cause for concern for Lampard, but he kept reiterating his desire to keep the midfielder throughout the season.

“He is an incredible player, I keep saying it and I mean it, he is huge for this club,” Lampard said at the end of June. “He has been huge and he will be for a long time and I am happy with him.

“It is not just about N’Golo. I have got other midfield players and a lot of competition in midfield but at the moment, N’Golo is doing a really good job there.” (Goal)
