– Leicester City star N’Golo Kante confirms he has received offers to leave Leicester
– Chelsea, Arsenal and PSG are reportedly chasing the Leicester City player
– Arsene Wenger speaks about the player
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praises N’Golo Kante as Arsenal continue to be linked with a move for the player .
According to the rumours, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are interested in the playmaker.
While Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have been rightly hailed for their performances for the Foxes, Kante has also won praise for his tireless work and presence as a near-impenetrable shield in midfield – something the Gunners have lacked in recent seasons.

According to The Sun (UK), Wenger is very keen on the midfielder, who was named in the PFA Team of the Year for his consistent performances since signing for the unlikely table toppers for £5.6m only last summer.

However, according to Le Parisian the Ligue 1 champions met with the Leicester City midfielder’s representatives twice in April and have since returned with an improved wage after initial reluctance.
Arsenal remain keen on the 25-year-old but have attempted to negotiate a fee lower than the France international’s release clause,
Wenger admitted: “I admire and like N’Golo Kante a lot – it gives you ideas. He gives you the feeling that the higher the level he plays at, the more at ease he is. We are talking about numbers. He has the most interceptions in Europe and by far.”
The Arsenal manager added: “He has incredible quality. He feels the game, only very few people can do that. He’s always where he needs to be. It is very rare to have that in the central midfielder. Not always orthodox, but always in the right place.”
The 25-year-old, who played in 37 of Leicester’s league matches in 2015-16 season, costs about £20million.
