Chelsea star N’Golo Kante ‘turned down PSG transfer approach in January’ with midfielder determined to stay with Blues

CHELSEA star N’Golo Kante reportedly rejected an approach to join Paris Saint-Germain in January.

Le Parisien claims the French midfielder, who turned 31 this week, was the subject of a lucrative offer from Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

PSG are long-term admirers of Kante, with Thomas Tuchel admitting he tried signing the World Cup winner several times before taking charge at Chelsea last year.

And sporting chief Leonardo made yet another attempt to bring Kante to the French capital.

However, the all-action dynamo spurned PSG’s advances yet again.

It’s reckoned Kante is still loving life at Chelsea – nearly six years since his £30million switch from Leicester.

And although his contract expires in 2023, Kante is determined to continue playing for Tuchel’s European champions.

The fan favourite has clocked up 249 appearances during his time in London, scoring 13 goals in the process.

Kante’s won the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and Club World Cup during his time with the Blues.

And he was crowned Prem Player of the Season in 2017 after winning the title under Antonio Conte.

Despite suffering several injury setbacks over the past 18 months, Kante continues to be a key man for club and country.

He has played 31 times in all competitions this term for Chelsea.

And with the English giants still in the hunt for an FA Cup and Champions League double, fans will be looking to Kante to inspire more trophy wins.
