Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kane is on the verge of a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad, reports claim.

According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, representatives will travel to London this week to speak to the Frenchman’s entourage.

The Tigers are confident that an agreement will be made quickly, with Kante’s Chelsea contract set to expire at the end of this month.

Kante joined Chelsea in a £30million transfer from Leicester in 2016 and has since made 269 appearances for the west London club.

However, he was limited to just nine outings this season due to a severe hamstring injury.

Chelsea had hoped to keep Kante on board by offering him a two-year contract extension, but the 32-year-old now looks set to leave Stamford Bridge on a permanent basis.
