Chelsea have clinched a £30million deal for N’Golo Kante with Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly hoping to follow the midfielder to Stamford Bridge.

Kante told Leicester City that he wanted to leave the Premier League champions and Chelsea were on Friday night putting the finishing touches to his arrival.

The France international is joining Chelsea on a £150,000-a-week five-year contract and his signing is a big boost to new head coach Antonio Conte, who had made Kante one of his priority targets.
