West Ham are reportedly interested in bringing veteran midfielder N’Golo Kante back to the Premier League.
Kante, who won the Premier League with Leicester City and Chelsea. Joined Al Ittihad last year and has made 46 appearances in all competitions.
The สมัคร ufabet report that West Ham’s interest is in the early stages. And it remains to be seen how much the 33-year-old will cost or whether Al Ittihad are willing to let him go,
while The Guardian says they will have to pay around £20m for him.
Kante struggled with injuries in his final season at Chelsea, making just seven Premier League appearances. But he has since rediscovered his best form and was part of France’s squad for Euro
2018. He made eight appearances for his country, all of them starts, and played the entire tournament, missing just 57 minutes.
The Hammers are keen to bring in four or five new players this summer to support Julen Lopetegui, who is in his first season in charge.
They are interested in Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Reiss Nelson and have also tried to tempt Jean-Clair Todibo.
They have already spent £60million this summer on signings Max Kilman and Luis Guillerme but have also seen a significant cash infusion from the likes of Said Benrahma and Flynn Downs.
N’Golo Kante crucial to France’s success once again after 2 years out of the team
It was a classic N’Golo Kante performance. Effective, understated — and overshadowed by a teammate.
With all the attention on Kylian Mbappé and his injured nose, Kante’s tireless defensive midfield work was quietly crucial to France’s 1-0 win over Austria at the European Championship on Monday.
Kanté had not played a competitive game for France in two years. It was as if the 33-year-old had never been away. He completed 92% of his passes and stopped Austria counterattacks to preserve France’s lead following an Austria own goal.
“Of course he was brilliant, he was bright tonight, we needed that,” France coach Didier Deschamps said through a translator.
