N’Golo Kante is fundamental to what I’m trying to do at Chelsea, proclaims Frank Lampard

While the Blues have rejected the move, Manchester United have also made their interest in the 29-year-old known which has caused concern for many Chelsea fans. But in a recent interview, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has admitted that there is little chance that the Frenchman will leave this summer as Kante is a key part of his plans. The Blues legend further added that while every “club in the world would want N’Golo Kante”, Chelsea have no plans to sell him.

“I think pretty much every club in the world would want N'Golo Kante. I have seen those reports as well. He is an incredible player and person and I certainly don't want to lose him. He's fundamental in terms of what I'm trying to do. We can obviously talk about the attacking players we have but someone like N'Golo and the work he does in midfield... It was a difficult year for him last year because of the injuries,” Lampard told BBC.
