Frank Leboeuf, a former player of Chelsea, has recently expressed his thoughts on the transfer rumors surrounding N'Golo Kante. He believes that Chelsea should not let West Ham take away their former player and should bring him back to Stamford Bridge.
It is no secret that West Ham has shown interest in signing Kante, who last season played for Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League after leaving Chelsea. During his time at Chelsea, Kante achieved personal and collective success by winning Premier League and Champions League trophies, and he was well-loved by the fans.
Kante's impressive performance in the Euro 2024 for France has sparked speculations about his return to the Premier League. West Ham's new manager, Julen Lopetegui, is known to be a fan of Kante and has previously tried to sign him during his time at Real Madrid. And now, with his new club, he has revived his interest in the 33-year-old and is optimistic about bringing him to the London Stadium.
Although Kante seems to be happy at Al-Ittihad, it is believed that he is open to the possibility of returning to the Premier League. He had a successful spell at Leicester City before joining Chelsea in 2016, and it seems like he is not ready to close the chapter on his career in Europe just yet.
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf was caught off guard by the rumors and has urged his former club to make a move for Kante. He believes that Chelsea should not let him go to West Ham and should bring him back home. Leboeuf stated that Kante's performance in the Euro 2024 has shown that he is still at the top of his game and would be a valuable asset to any team.
When asked about his future during the Euro 2024, Kante hinted that he is not ready to end his career in Europe just yet. He mentioned that although he is enjoying his time in Saudi Arabia, playing for the French team has reminded him of the feelings he had while playing in Europe. However, he also stated that he is not actively thinking about his future at the moment and is focused on giving his best for both Al-Ittihad and the French team.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has received criticism for their decision to sell Kante. Leboeuf called it a "shameful" decision and expressed his frustration and anger towards the club. He believes that Chelsea needs to make a change in their approach to signing players and should focus on building a strong and consistent team rather than constantly changing coaches and players. He also pointed out the lack of experienced players in the team and the over-reliance on young talents, which has led to inconsistent performances.
As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen if Chelsea will take Leboeuf's advice and make a move for Kante. But one thing is for sure, the fans are eagerly waiting for the club to make some changes and bring back the glory days.
