Chelsea to treble wages of Leicester's N'Golo Kante to ward off PSG interest

Chelsea will offer a five-year deal with wages in excess of £100,000 per week in a bid to fend off Paris Saint-Germain's interest in Leicester City's star midfielder N'Golo Kante, according to the Mirror.

Antonio Conte is dreaming of partnering the French international alongside Radja Nainggolan in a midfield that would offer tremendous athleticism. Kante has a £20 million release clause, while Roma will command in excess of £30m for the Belgian international.

Should the Blues be able to pull off both deals, the Mirror suggest Cesc Fabregas' future will be thrown into doubt. But Fabregas, who was never comfortable operating in a two-man midfield last season, could flourish with the dynamic duo able to do his legwork.
