Chelsea have signed Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante for a fee around £30m.

After the signing of Michy Batshuayi from Olympique de Marseille, Kante becomes the second summer signing.

The French International has signed a five-year contract and is understood to be on wages of around £120,000-a-week.

Speaking to Chelsea Official Website Kante said:
‘I am so happy to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It’s a dream come true for me.
‘The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was simply too good to turn down.
‘My first season in English football was very special and now I hope to go on to achieve even more during my time as a Chelsea player. I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and helping the club achieve a lot of success.’
Chelsea's Technical director Michael Emenalo added:

‘N’Golo is a fantastic signing ahead of the new season and we are delighted to have been able to bring such a talented player to the club.
‘He is a perfect fit in terms of Antonio Conte’s philosophies and the style of football he wants to play.
‘For a player of his age he has already built up a wealth of experience and his exceptional quality will without doubt be a great addition to the team.’
Kante was the first signing Claudio Ranieri made after becoming Leicester manager last summer. He joined Leicester last summer from Caen for £5.6million.
He was named on the six-man shortlist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award - won by former team-mate Riyad Mahrez.
