Kante became the first player in Premier League history to win the title in consecutive years with two different clubs in 2016 after winning with Leicester and Chelsea.He was hailed as one huge reason for both Claudio Ranieri and Antonio Conte winning the English top flight.
And his performances last season were rewarded as he was named the PFA Players’ Player of the Year as well as picking up the French Player of the Year and finishing eighth in voting for the Ballon d’Or.
Chelsea have struggled to live up to expectations from last season with Conte bemoaning the club’s transfer business in recent months.
And he could have another dilemma on his hands come the end of the season with French outlet Le 10 Sport claiming PSG have made Kante their top transfer target for the summer.Kylian Mbappe is expected to make his loan move from Monaco to PSG permanent at the end of the season with his former club set to pocket £153m.
But the rich Ligue 1 club are prepared to splash out more cash on signing Kante to replace Thiago Motta.
