"I am so happy to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe," Kante told Chelsea’s website. The 25-year-old Kante was instrumental in Leicester’s stunning title win last season but chose Chelsea instead of Champions League football this term. "Kante is the second big name to arrive this summer, following on from Michy Batshuayi and Chelsea’s technical director, Michael Emenalo said Kante was a fantastic signing. "My first season in English football was very special and now I hope to go on to achieve even more during my time as a Chelsea player. "He is a perfect fit in terms of Antonio Conte’s philosophies and the style of football he wants to play," he said.
