Chelsea star N'Golo Kante is close to agreeing terms with Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad for a deal worth £86million A YEAR... after contract talks with the Blues stalled

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is close to agreeing terms to join Al Ittihad.

A delegation from the Saudi Arabian club was in London on Tuesday evening to go over the terms of the deal worth around £86million a year.

The 32-year old will be a free agent at the end of this month and has been offered a contract until 2025.

Kante had been in talks over a new deal with Chelsea but negotiations stalled after March.

Chelsea want a younger squad and are in discussions with Brighton regarding a move for £80m-rated Moises Caicedo.
