N’Golo Kante will not be allowed to leave Chelsea with interest reportedly growing in the 29-year-old.

The midfielder is apparently the source of interest from several clubs, including Manchester United.

However, David Ornstein of The Athletic has stated that the midfielder will not be going anywhere, with Roman Abramovich and Frank Lampard having no intention of selling the World Cup winner.

“I don’t think we should be getting too excited about the prospect of N’Golo Kante signing for Manchester United before the deadline,” Ornstein told Tifo.

“I don’t think he will be leaving Chelsea – full stop. We have got no evidence that he is available.
