Football: Chelsea FC have announced the signing of French midfielder N'Golo Kante from Leicester City on a five-year deal worth around £30 million. Kante, 25, will become Chelsea's second signing of the summer after the arrival of Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.


Kante who played a key role in Leicester's stunning Premier League title triumph last season told Chelsea official website;

"I am so happy to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It's a dream come true for me,"

"The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was simply too good to turn down.

"My first season in English football was very special and now I hope to go on to achieve even more during my time as a Chelsea player. I am looking forward to meeting up with my new teammates and helping the club achieve a lot of success."
