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.”
Since joining Leicester City from Caen for just £5.6m in 2015, the midfielder has won Premier League titles with Leicester and Chelsea, and the 2018 World Cup with France.
Kanté was also voted the PFA player of the year in 2017, and was included in the FifPro World XI this year.
