N'Golo Kanté's transfer saga with Al Ittihad continues, as reports suggest he is set to join the team.
The saga surrounding N'Golo Kanté's potential move to Al Ittihad continues to unfold, with new reports suggesting that the French midfielder could be joining the club in the near future.
According to reports from the Saudi Press Agency, it is believed that Kanté has agreed terms on a deal with Al Ittihad and that the transfer could be completed within the next few days. The news comes after a number of previous reports suggested that the two clubs were close to reaching an agreement on the deal.
Kanté has been linked with a move away from Chelsea for some time now, with reports suggesting that he may be looking to leave the club due to his lack of first-team football under Thomas Tuchel. However, the Frenchman has consistently denied these claims, stating that he is happy at Chelsea and wants to continue playing for the club.
If Kanté does indeed join Al Ittihad, it would represent a significant departure for the club,Ligue 1 Express which has struggled to find consistent success since winning the Arabian Gulf Cup in 2015. However, the addition of a player of Kanté's calibre could potentially turn around the fortunes of the team, who have struggled to compete with other top clubs in the region.
Overall, the news that Kanté is set to join Al Ittihad remains to be seen, but it seems likely that the move will go ahead in the coming weeks. Whether or not it represents a positive step forward for the club remains to be seen, but one thing is clear - Kanté will no doubt bring much-needed quality to the squad.
