Arsene Wenger has admitted to admiring Leicester City star N'Golo Kante and believes the club will have no trouble selling him if they want to.

The 25-year-old midfielder joined the Foxes from Caen at the start of the season and has been a pivotal player for Claudio Ranieri's men on their march to a surprise Premier League title this term.

Kante made his debut with the France national team in March, featuring against Netherlands and then playing the full game against Russia a few days later.

Wenger is looking forward to seeing the Foxes star man at Euro 2016 this summer, and while he stopped short of saying he wants to bring him to Arsenal, he does feel there will be a lot of interest in him during the transfer window.

"I think he will play in the European Championships and for me he was one of the players of the year in the Premier League," Wenger told reporters.

"I cannot tell you anything now [about any Arsenal interest]. He is under contract with Leicester. I am sure if Leicester want to sell him, they will find some buyers."

Kante has played 35 games in the Premier League for Leicester this season, scoring one goal.
