Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté has signed a new five-year contract, the club have announced.
The France international, signed from Leicester in the summer of 2016, has been an ever-present in Maurizio Sarri’s side this season.
“N’Golo Kanté has today extended his stay at Stamford Bridge by signing a new five-year contract,” Chelsea said on their official website.
“I’m happy to extend my time with Chelsea,” Kanté said. “It has been two beautiful years and I wish for more to come. Since I came, I completely improved as a player, challenged myself and got some awards I never thought about.”
