Chelsea have moved to keep N'Golo Kante away from PSG's clutches by reportedly offering him a new £290,000-a-week contract.

PSG made Kante, 27, a top transfer target at the start of the summer.

And his stock only rose after a string of brilliant displays on the way to France becoming world champions for a second time.

Kante would roughly double his wages in a deal that would see him earn £75million over the next four years.
