Kante joined the Foxes from Caen for £5.6m last August and played a major role in their title-winning campaign, earning a place in the PFA Team of the Year.
Liverpool have joined a host of clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign Leicester City midfielder N’Golo Kante.
With his contract including a £22million release clause, a plethora of Leicester’s Premier League rivals are reportedly looking to snap up the France worldwide – who started for his country against Romania during the opening fixture of Euro 2016. The midfielder form has seen him make it to the France squad for the ongoing European championship in his homeland.
Kante, who’s now on duty with France at Euro 2016, enjoyed a fantastic maiden campaign in the Premier League last term and was a huge influence on Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes, who ended the season as champions of England. “He gives you ideas”, the Arsenal boss told beIN Sports.
“We are talking about numbers”. He feels the game, only very few people can do that.

However, it looks like the duo will now face even greater competition for Kante’s signature as the newspaper claims that Liverpool have now joined the race with Jurgen Klopp eager to lure the French global to Anfield.
