Man Utd and Arsenal shock: Euro giants not giving up on midfield enforcer
MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal face serious competition to land N’Golo Kante, according to reports.
N'Golo Kante could be on the move in the summer
The Leicester star was instrumental to their astonishing title triumph this season.
Incoming United boss Jose Mourinho, Express Sport understands, will be armed with a £200million transfer kitty to transform the club into Premier League champions.
Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic has been earmarked as a potential target.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have been tracking the £20m-rated Kante as they seek to beef up their midfield.
This is despite completing a £30m deal for Borussia Monchengladbach star Granit Xhaka.
However, both aforementioned clubs will have to fend off competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Daily Mail claim that while Kante has told the Ligue 1 giants he wants to stay in England, his request has been ignored.
It is thought PSG aren’t giving up and have continued to speak to the 25-year-old’s representatives.
