N'Golo Kante's Release Clause Will Excite A Lot Of Potential Buyers

He's been one of the revelations of the season, a vital component in Leicester City's incredible surge towards the Premier League title and in the Summer, N'Golo Kante could prove to be a bargain acquisition once more, after the release clause in his contract was revealed.

Kante set the Foxes back just £5.6m from Caen last year and over the course of the season has proven to be one of the most astute pieces of business in Premier League history and was yesterday named on the shortlist for the PFA Player Of The Year award.

Now the French midfield powerhouse is available for just £20m, which has alerted the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and PSG to the possibility of securing his signature once the season is over.

Kante has three years left on his £40,000-a-week and discussions over a new deal (one which presumably includes a much larger release clause) are expected to begin in the coming months.
