N’Golo Kante has reportedly attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, as the Frenchman looks set to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Since bursting onto the scene for Leicester in their famous title triumph in the 2015-16 season, Kante has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe.
However, this season has been a difficult campaign for the two time Premier League winner, as he has missed 25 league matches through injury.
Since his return from the sidelines, the France international has started six times, with Frank Lampard opting for the Kante over Mateo Kovacic.
Despite returning to the starting lineup, the former Leicester star is expected to leave the club at the end of the season and has reportedly attracted interest from Saudi Arabia.
Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Luka Modric are also being linked with a move to Saudi, as Cristiano Ronaldo has set a path for others to follow.

Mane has been exiled from Bayern Munich, after an alleged bust-up with teammate, Leroy Sane, during the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League.
Only signing for the Bundesliga side last summer, Mane’s exit may come as a surprise to some supporters. However, a host of clubs are keen on landing the Senegal international’s signature, with Chelsea expected to submit a bid.
His former Liverpool teammate, Roberto Firmino, will be leaving Merseyside at the end of the season and will end his eight-year spell in the Premier League.
Many believe that a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer would be too early for the Brazilian, as his quality would still benefit a variety of European sides.
The Saudi Arabian league is on the rise and adding any of; Kante, Firmino, Mane and Modric, could be the next step in their footballing journey.
