EKO HOT BLOG reports that Chelsea’s influential midfielder, N’Golo Kante, has confirmed his intention to be part of the club’s “exciting” new project, expressing his desire to continue his journey at Stamford Bridge.
As Kante’s current contract is set to expire in the summer, the 32-year-old has attracted interest from other clubs, including Barcelona and Arsenal.
Since his move from Leicester City to Chelsea in 2016, the Frenchman has amassed an impressive collection of silverware, including the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup titles.
However, this season has been marred by injury setbacks, limiting Kante to just six Premier League starts. Despite his limited game time, Chelsea remains keen on retaining the experienced midfielder for at least another campaign.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, when asked about his future with Chelsea, Kante expressed his desire to stay at the club, emphasizing the allure of the ongoing transformation and development.
He described it as an exciting project for the team and highlighted that the current season has fallen short of Chelsea’s usual standards. Nonetheless, Kante and the entire squad are determined to steer the club towards success and reclaim their position as title contenders.
Kante further stated his hope that Chelsea would once again embark on a journey marked by competitiveness and triumphs. While the midfielder remains uncertain about his exact future destination, he underlined the significance of positive changes for the club, considering it the utmost priority.
“For sure. It’s an exciting project for the club.” Kante was quoted saying.
“Unfortunately this season hasn’t been to Chelsea’s standards. But everyone wants to go in this way, the way of success and winning titles.” he said.
“I hope this club will again fight in this direction. Let’s see where I will be but I hope that this is a change for the club, that is most important.”
The confirmation of Kante’s commitment to Chelsea will undoubtedly be welcomed by the club’s supporters, who have long recognized his invaluable contributions on the pitch.
Despite the challenges posed by injuries this season, the French international’s tenacity, exceptional work rate, and defensive prowess have remained integral to the team’s achievements over the years.
Chelsea’s management, recognizing Kante’s immense value to the squad, will likely initiate negotiations to secure an extension to his current contract. By retaining the services of one of the world’s finest midfielders, the club aims to strengthen their lineup and bolster their prospects for future success.
As the current campaign nears its conclusion, Chelsea’s faithful will eagerly await further developments regarding Kante’s contract situation, hoping that the gifted midfielder will continue to be an integral part of the team’s ambitions in the seasons to come.
