N’Golo Kante has reportedly decided to snub interest from French giants PSG and is ready to sign a lucrative new Chelsea contract instead.
The France star was strongly linked with a return to his homeland over the summer, but only recently revealed that he is more than happy with life in west London.
He told Telefoot, after claiming World Cup glory: “There had been discussions with PSG, but the reality is that I am good at Chelsea. When Chelsea told me they were counting on me and wanted to keep me for the future, I did not see myself going against the club. I live good times in Chelsea and I’m starting a new season.”

Kante has flourished in a more advanced midfield role under new boss Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge and has been nominated for the Ballon d’Or for an outstanding 2018.
