Liverpool have suffered a major setback in their pursuit of N’Golo Kante as the Frenchman appears to be on the brink of signing a new deal with Chelsea. This news will come as a significant blow to Liverpool, who have been in search of a top-class midfielder to bolster their squad.
Fabrizio Romano via Twitter talked about how talks between Kante’s entourage and Chelsea are progressing and there is a growing sense of optimism to oversee a new deal for the 31-year-old defensive midfielder.
Liverpool’s midfield has stood plagued with injuries and inconsistent performances over the past few seasons, and the need for a player like Kante is obviously undeniable. This season has also exposed the club’s lack of midfield depth on numerous occasions.
Kante is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world and has consistently demonstrated his defensive prowess and exceptional work rate. His performances have earned him widespread praise, and his experience and leadership would certainly be invaluable to any team.
The former Leicester City man’s experience in winning the Premier League and the Champions League would certainly be a significant addition to Liverpool’s squad, as the Reds look to add more silverware to their trophy cabinet.
However, Liverpool has suffered a huge blow as the news indicates that Kante stands set to sign a new deal with Chelsea. It is unclear if the Reds will now look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements, but they will undoubtedly have to scout other targets like Jude Bellingham much more extensively now.
Kante’s defensive prowess and work rate would have been a significant asset to Liverpool, but as earlier mentioned, they must now look for alternative options as they seek to compete for trophies on all fronts.
