SKY NEWS: Leicester finally struck a huge deal as they invested £5.6 million in Kante.

N’Golo Kante was a key part of Leicester City’s incredible Premier League-winning season in 2015/16, providing consistent and impressive performances in midfield. Kante’s defensive abilities, including his high number of tackles and interceptions, made Leicester a much stronger defensive team during their title-winning campaign. Leicester’s investment of £5.6 million in Kante proved to be a significant bargain, as he went on to achieve great success at Chelsea, winning multiple trophies and individual accolades

The Foxes were relegated from the top-flight last term under the combination of Brendan Rodgers and Dean Smith, with Enzo Maresca now tasked with bouncing the club straight back to the big time.

Leicester would go on to stun world football back in the 2015/16 season when they lifted the Premier League title under Claudio Ranieri.

A big part to their success that term was French midfielder N’Golo Kante, who arrived at the King Power Stadium and was a key component to their surge in form.

Leicester reportedly acquired the services of Kante for £5.6 million, with such a cheap investment returning a significant profit despite only spending a single season in the East Midlands.

The now 32-year-old was sourced as the replacement for Esteban Cambiasso and was scouted by Steve Walsh, who had negotiated the previous transfers of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
