Chelsea have agreed a fee of £35m for Lille's star midfielder, N'Golo Kante, according to reports from the Daily Mail.

The deal is believed to be completed and Kante will join Chelsea on a five-year contract once he has completed his medical at Stamford Bridge.

Kante, who was previously linked with a move to Manchester United, has been a key player for Lille over the past few seasons, helping them to win the Ligue 1 title last season.

He is known for his technical ability and vision on the pitch, as well as his defensive work rate. He is expected to become a key player for Chelsea under new manager Maurizio Sarri.

The transfer adds to Chelsea's already impressive squad, which includes the likes of Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas. The addition of Kante could see Chelsea challenge for the Premier League title this season.

Overall, it seems that Chelsea have made another major signing ahead of the upcoming season, and fans can look forward to seeing what they can achieve under the guidance of new manager Maurizio Sarri.
