KANTE A £90M TARGET FOR PSG

Amazing French bid would make Chelsea’s midfield dynamo Prem’s most expensive ever export

- BY DARREN LEWIS

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are plotting a £90million move for Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante.

The Qatari-owned French giants want to take the 26-yearold home and make him their latest Galactico at the end of the season, after bringing in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for a total of more than £300m in the summer. That would make the France internatio­nal (left) the most expensive Premier League export of all time, topping the £86m Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale. Kante was nominated for the prestigiou­s Ballon d’Or this week

after helping Chelsea clinch their second title in three seasons. The star joined a select band of players to win the league in consecutiv­e seasons with different clubs after his success last year with Leicester. Kante, currently out with a hamstring injury, is into the second season of the five-year deal he signed when he joined the Blues from Leicester for £32m last year. PSG see him as the tough-tackling midfielder they need to allow their many attacking talents, including Neymar (above), to flourish.
