Chelsea star N'Golo Kante completes medical in London ahead of his move to Al-Ittihad... with the midfielder set to join Karim Benzema at the Saudi Arabian side after agreeing a two-year deal worth £172m

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has completed a medical in London ahead of his expected move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.

Mail Sport previously reported that a delegation from the Middle East club was in London on Tuesday evening to go over the terms of a two-year deal worth £86m-per-season.

Kante had been in talks over a new deal with Chelsea but negotiations stalled, and he is now set to leave the club at the end of the month, with his contract due to expire.

The Guardian have reported that Kante has completed a medical in London and is poised to be announced as the Saudi Arabian side's newest signing.
