Arsenal News Transfer: Arsenal is said to be planning a bold move for Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante, who is in the last year of his contract with the Blues

Arsenal News Transfer: Daily Star says that Arsenal is planning a bold move for N’Golo Kante, who is in the last year of his contract with Chelsea. The French general in midfield has been injured recently. But he keeps getting offers from big clubs.

Since joining the Leicester City team that won the Premier League in 2015-16, N’Golo Kante has been one of the best players in the world. Since then, the French midfielder has won the league title with Chelsea, as well as the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]

Chelsea was thinking about giving him a new contract and going against their rule about players over 30. Reports say that they have also thought about selling him if the right offer comes along this summer. With only one year left on his current contract, it might not be hard for the Blues to get rid of the 31-year-old.

What’s the story?

Manchester United was interested in the Frenchman. But since Erik ten Hag joined the team, their main midfield target is still Frenkie de Jong. The Red Devils should sign Kante because they need to get a good defensive midfielder. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]

But Mikel Arteta is also looking to sign a new defensive midfielder this summer. The Arsenal manager thinks that the position needs more depth. The links to Kante suggest that the Gunners want a head with experience. For now, Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga can fill the role, with Partey being the first choice to play in the holding midfield position.

But Kante could give the team the depth it needs and bring his huge amount of big-game experience. Arsenal is interested in Amadou Onana, a 22-year-old player for Lille who plays in the same position as Ozil. But Kante’s availability could be seen as a market opportunity. The Gunners could put Kante at the top of their list of players to sign.

Arsenal News Transfer: Will Kante move to the Emirates?

Arsenal wants to know if Chelsea has any plans to sell the midfielder. Also, the Gunners might have to think about the fact that Kante is one of Chelsea’s highest-paid players. Before the north London team decides to go to Chelsea, it could be important for them to match his salary. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]

From a sporting point of view, Kante could be a great addition to Arsenal. But the team may also need to focus on its short-term goals. Bringing in a veteran player like the Frenchman would help Arteta achieve his short-term goals and stabilize his options before he uses young players to carry out his long-term plan.

For now, this story should be taken as a rumour. But football is always full of pleasant surprises. There is no reason to doubt the rumours. But Arsenal needs to think about a lot of things before making an offer to Chelsea and Kante. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
