Zapping World Eleven EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Clauss’ “Little Brother” interview!
After several repeated injuries, N’Golo Kanté was unable to participate in the 2022 World Cup with the French team. This season, the midfielder has only played the first two Premier League games before injury slowed him down. While his contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season, several clubs like Barça or Al Nasr would be interested in welcoming him. However, The Athletic announced on Thursday that despite the player’s physical failure, the Blues would like to extend it. The negotiations will progress well between the two parties, the last issue to be decided will be particularly around the duration of the new contract. Arriving at Stamford in the summer of 2016 after winning a historic Premier League title with Leicester, Kanté has established himself as one of the very best in his position in the Kingdom and quite simply the world. The London adventure could therefore finally continue for the 31-year-old player.
🚨 Chelsea are making positive progress in negotiations over a new deal for N’Golo Kante. Not done, but now likely to extend 31 years amid rival interest. #CFC also expected to sign at least 1 midfielder in January/summer; Fernandez & Bellingham high among options @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ll6bciQ2Kj
