Midfielder N’Golo Kante has signed a new contract with Chelsea, running until 2023.
The France international has put pen to paper on a new five-year deal, the club confirmed on Friday.
“Since I came, I completely improved as a player, challenged myself and got some awards I never thought about. I like the city, I like the club and I am happy to be here for more time.”
Kante won another Premier League title in his debut season with the Blues, before going on to lift the World Cup with France in Russia this summer.
Following the conclusion of the 2016-17 campaign, Kante was named Player of the Year by both the PFA and FWA.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s trip to Tottenham, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was delighted that his player had extended his stay at Stamford Bridge.
