Chelsea star Kante reveals reason Arsenal failed to sign him

Chelsea star N’Golo Kante has explained why he turned down a move to Arsenal when he left Leicester City during last summer’s transfer window.

The France international shone in the Premier League last season after arriving as a virtual unknown, guiding Leicester to a shock title victory before earning a big move to Stamford Bridge.

A host of top clubs had been after Kante before he wound up at Chelsea, and the 26-year-old admits he was persuaded by them because they wanted him most.

‘With Arsenal there was an interest but not a big as other clubs,’ he told Sky Sports.

‘That is why I didn’t go to Arsenal and went to Chelsea.’

Arsenal could’ve done with a midfielder of Kante’s calibre, but instead spent £35million on signing Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach, who has proven a disappointment so far.
