French midfielder N’Golo Kante has insisted that he wants to stay at Chelsea.
Kante has not enjoyed the best of seasons, as he has been absent for most of the campaign with injury issues.
He is out of contract in a month.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Kante outlined his plans for the summer and beyond: “Yeah for sure [want to stay]. It’s an exciting project for the club. Unfortunately the season has not been a standout for Chelsea.
“I’m sure everyone wants to go this way; the way of success, the way of winning titles. I hope this club will fight again in this direction. Let’s see where I will be but I hope that this is a change for the club, that is most important.”
On his fitness, Kante added: “It was the purpose of the surgery, to come back strong. At the moment I feel good, hopefully it’ll carry on like this. For the last few weeks I’ve been playing I’ve felt very good.
