N’Golo Kante

Kante
The Frenchman is out of contract at the end of the season but, despite the service he has given the club, the Blues are reluctant to hand him a new long-term deal.

Kante’s poor recent injury record means handing the midfielder a lengthy extension is a massive risk and the club are right not to give in to his demands. If he softens his stance over the length of the contract, a compromise could still be found.

Verdict – KEEP (if possible)
