According to recent reports, N’Golo Kante is set to join Chelsea’s Premier League opponent, West Ham United, during the summer transfer window.
Last summer, Kante moved for free from Stamford Bridge to Al-Ittihad, a Saudi Pro League team.
He is still capable of competing at the highest level, as demonstrated by his efforts for France in Euro 2024.

The Guardian claims that both the Hammers and Kante’s present owners are still in talks over a potential transfer.
Al-Ittihad has a deal with the France midfielder that runs through the summer of 2026.
The article went on to say that a deal for the 33-year-old would need to be completed for about £20 million.
Following Kalvin Phillips’ disappointing season as a Manchester City loanee, Kante is seen as the Hammers’ primary priority.
