N'Golo Kante signs for Chelsea in a 30 million pounds move from Leicester City as the Londoners look for revival under new manager Antonio Conte.
Chelsea's latest recruit N'Golo Kante has revealed it was coach Antonio Conte who persuaded him to join the club.
The Frenchman completed his £30 million transfer on Saturday and was Conte's second signing after he arrived at the former English Premier League champions.
"At the beginning of the 2016-17 season, I chose to join Chelsea FC. It is a great club which has just recruited a great coach and want to reach high ambitions I share," Kante wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
"The club's project and the coach's speech have convinced me to join this new ambitious adventure."
The 25-year-old also thanked defending champions Leicester City and the fans for supporting him all through last season.
"This season I discovered the Premier League championship with FC Leicester," he wrote.
"I want to thank the leaders, my team-mates and Claudio Ranieri for this fantastic season that saw us winning the title of England. Their confidence and also the fans' will forever remain in my memory. And I again thank you all," he added.
