Leicester and France midfielder N'Golo Kante, 25, deserves to be playing for a top club in Europe, says ex-France international Claude Makelele.

[Mr Snrub]

If we could get him for £30 million that's an utter bargain.

Or maybe he is?

[Mr Snrub]

I never trust any transfer news until the ink is dry on the contract

Looks like he is, £29.2m, 5 yr deal, medical tomorrow. Apparently.

To be fair most journalism today just involves making stuff up or browsing Twitter and reporting "outrage" about a non event

[uk66fastback]

One man doesn't make a team, but if he matches last season's performances, Kante is a great buy and makes Chelsea into a MUCH harder team to penetrate.

[trackdemon]

Done deal, great signing http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36806454

you bds!

[Black can man]

So much for some players desires to play champions league football eh ?

[Mr Snrub]

Very happy with that, a real statement of intent

[GarryDK]

The squad is looking extremely exciting. It will be good to see how the younger lads will fit in. RLC in particular.

It's a 5 year deal. Over the coming 5 years, my guess is that Chelsea will be involved in more CL campaigns than Leicester. (but I may be wrong)

[Mr Snrub]

Looks like Demba Ba's career is over. I haven't seen the tackle and, from what I've heard, I have no intention of doing so

Just watched it again, edited my earlier post. The actual challenge wasn't really that bad but the consequence is disastrous for him.
