N’Golo Kante and Chelsea
A number of Chelsea players have wished N’Golo Kante well on his next challenge after penning a deal with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia
Reece James and Mason Mount have bid farewell to N’Golo Kante following confirmation of the Frenchman’s transfer to Al-Ittihad. The 32-year-old was offered the chance to extend his stay at Chelsea, but he decided to test himself in the Saudi Pro League instead.
Kante made 269 appearances for the the Blues during his seven-year stay at Stamford Bridge, directly contributing towards 29 goals from midfield. He played a major role in helping Chelsea win the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
The France international helped the west Londoners achieve their wildest dreams but, towards the end of his tenure, he struggled to stay fit. Kante was a fan favourite, and he’ll be missed just as much by his teammates, who have taken to social media to congratulate him on his new venture.

James was one of the first to get the ball rolling, with a heartwarming message on his Instagram story.
With a crying emoji, the 23-year-old defender wrote: “Nicest guy in football. Such a pleasure to share a dressing room and play along side you. Good Luck brother, you’ll be missed.”
Then, Mount followed suit and paid his respects to Kante. With a blue heart emoji, the Cobham graduate kept his message short and sweet, writing: “Legend.”
