Arsenal & Spurs linked with a FREE transfer for Chelsea star

The north London clubs could vie for N’Golo Kante if the Chelsea midfielder becomes available for a free transfer next summer.

The player wants a long-term agreement, but Chelsea won’t play ball. The Blues have instead proposed a  two-year deal, with an option for a further 12 months included.

Regardless, Kante wants to stay in London and that could open the door for a transfer to either Arsenal or Tottenham in 2023. [FootMercato – in French]
