N’Golo Kante, a Chelsea midfielder, is set to leave the Premier League after being offered £172 million to join Saudi club Al Ittihad, according to report.
Kante has spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge, making 269 appearances since joining for £32 million from Leicester City in 2016.
He has won the Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup during his stint at the club.
Kante, on the other hand, was unable to make as much of an impact last season due to injuries, which limited him to only seven league games.

With his Chelsea contract set to expire in June, Kante has been considering his options for some months, with Barcelona and Arsenal showing interest.
However, Al Ittihad has now made an irresistible offer of a two-year contract for roughly £86 million per year.
Kante is nearing an agreement with Al Ittihad and will join Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Middle East.
