N’Golo Kante has revealed that the serenity he feels at Chelsea was a big reason behind his decision to sign a new long-term contract last year.

Kante has been at Chelsea since 2016 when he left a title-winning Leicester City side to move to Stamford Bridge.  

 



The Frenchman was a massive part of the Chelsea outfit that won the league in his first season at the club and has been one of the most influential midfielders in the Premier League.

Kante is the best-paid player at Chelsea and has featured 149 times for the club thus far.
