Ranieri: Leicester must dry eyes over Kante sale to Chelsea
Kurt Zouma is backing N’Golo Kante to prove himself as a top quality signing at Chelsea next season.
He can be a good player alongside Sami Khedira, and with the return of Claudio Marchisio, the Juventus midfield could be a good one.
Conte has also warned off opposition clubs in their pursuit of the powerful Serbia global, telling former team Juventus the player is not for sale as they look at options to replace Paul Pogba.
‘Some people’s careers take off at different moments, he wasn’t on the radar but then for Leicester City he has done really well, won a title for them and now he is going to be playing for Chelsea so I am really happy for him and the club are really happy to have him’. Matic has shown, during Chelsea’s title-winning season, that he can be a dominant defensive midfielder that can control play in his defensive half of the pitch. If he goes in another big team, there are so many lights, so many stars, why?
However, the France global will play his football at Stamford Bridge this campaign after joining the Blues in deal worth about £32m.
Bruma said: “I had other options like Inter Milan”. But if you put him on the bench he gets down. He has good technique, fantastic stamina and I like this type of player.
The manager said retaining Vardy early in the transfer window was crucial for the the team heading into next season, but he admitted that his efforts to keep Kante at the club fell short.
Meanwhile, Conte’s work in the transfer market this summer is likely to be far from done as he continues to explore ways in which to strengthen his squad further and more new squad numbers could well be announced. Both him and France came [to us with] all the worries, speaking about N’Golo, of achieving [success] at [Euro 2016 with the] national team.
“In these two days we worked a lot, but we want to play a good game against Liverpool and I want to see improvement of my players”, Conte added. It’s very hard for all the teams to try and buy the players.
