Gary Lineker Sends Message To N'Golo Kante Amid Luiz Rumours

Amid the madness that is David Luiz's potential £38m return to Chelsea, Gary Lineker has decided to have some fun with the news, by tweeting a message of sympathy to N'Golo Kante.

The French midfielder, a £30m recruit from Leicester over the Summer, could be set to have his work cut out for him protecting a Blues defence with the erratic Luiz at the heart of it. This is a fact that was not lost on Leicester legend Gary Lineker.

If Kante thought he had a lot of ground to cover protecting Gary Cahill and an ageing John Terry, just imagine how he's going to feel when he's sitting in front of a bloke with the positional sense of a pissed toddler.

The deal announcing Luiz's arrival at Stamford Bridge is expected to be announced in the coming hours.
