LONDON. – Arsene Wenger has fuelled speculation N’Golo Kante could join Arsenal by piling praise on the Leicester midfielder ahead of Euro 2016. The Foxes midfielder has a £20million release clause in his current contract and has already confirmed he will decide his future at the end of the tournament later this summer. Chelsea are ready to treble his current £35 000 per week wages to persuade him to move to Stamford Bridge but he appears to be firmly on the Gunners radar too with PSG also interested.

And Arsenal boss Wenger is a huge fan of the Premier League title winner.

“I admire and like N’Golo Kanté a lot. It gives you ideas,” he told beIN Sports. “He gives you the feeling that the higher the level he plays at, the more at ease he is. – The Mirror.
