Manchester United have made a surprise enquiry for Chelsea’s World Cup-winning midfielder N’Golo Kante.
The 29-year-old is also attracting interest from Inter Milan, managed by former Stamford Bridge manager Antonio Conte.
It appears that Chelsea, who have spent more than £200million in this transfer window, are prepared to allow Kante to leave for the right offer.
Old Trafford manager Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer is a long-time admirer of the abrasive all-action player.
He believes the France star would add extra muscle to an impressive midfield line-up which includes recent signings Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek.
We can reveal contact has been made with Kante’s advisors, but any deal is dependent on him taking a big cut on his £300,000-a-week wages.
Kante started for Chelsea last time out as the Blues overturned a three-goal deficit to salvage a point against newly-promoted West Brom.
Callum Robinson put the Baggies ahead in just the fourth minute at the Hawthorns, before doubling West Brom’s lead.
Kyle Bartley made it 3-0 on the half hour mark, with the home side going into the break with a substantial lead.
But Chelsea battled back in the second half with goals from Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham rescuing a point.
