Kante has been one of the finest midfielders of the last decade, putting in some memorable performances for both Chelsea and Leicester City in his time in the Premier League.

The 32-year-old does look like he’s probably past his best now, however, after a series of injury problems at Stamford Bridge in the last year or so.

It looks like the right time for Kante to move on, and he’s certainly done well to get this extremely lucrative offer for the next few years, even if it does mean dropping down a level from the more competitive leagues in Europe.
