N’Golo Kante to Arsenal: Arsene Wenger hails ‘incredible’ Leicester City man as he prepares transfer for midfielder

ARSENE WENGER has given a MASSIVE hint that he wants to sign Leicester City ace N’Golo Kante this summer.

Speaking on BeIn Sports last night, the Arsenal manager could not be any more obvious that he will move for the solid French midfielder, calling him “incredible” and saying that he “admires him a lot”.

The Gunners boss said: “I admire and like N’Golo Kante a lot. It gives you ideas.

“He gives you the feeling that the higher the level he plays at, the more at ease he is.
“We are talking about numbers. He has the most interceptions in Europe and by far.

“He has incredible quality. He feels the game, only very few people can do that. He’s always where he needs to be.

“It is very rare to have that in the central midfielder. Not always orthodox, but always in the right place.”

Kante, 25, joined Leicester from Caen for £5.5m in August 2015 and established himself as the best midfielder in the Premier League last season as the the Foxes charged to a shock Premier League title.

The Gunners are also targeting Kante’s Premier league-winning team-mate Jamie Vardy, having made a £20m bid for the rapid England striker. The latest reports, however, claim that Vardy is “80 per cent likely” to snub Arsenal and stay with the Foxes.
