N’Golo Kante has revealed that he spoke to Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, before he eventually signed for Chelsea this summer.
The France midfielder became one of the most sought-after players in the market, after helping Leicester City claim their first-ever Premier League title.
But despite talking with Mourinho, Kante chose to complete a £32m switch to Chelsea, after speaking with Antonio Conte.
“It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I’d been warned before how he would appeal to me,” Kante said.
“I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United.
“But at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.
“My discussions with them were already well underway. But when I spoke, I had a good feeling with Conte.”
