Juventus join N'Golo Kante chase

Italian champions Juventus have joined Real Madrid in the race to sign Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante. The Frenchman played a key role in the Foxes setup as they went on to lift their maiden league title last term.

The 25-year-old has been a player on demand this summer following an excellent debut season at the King Power Stadium.

A report from Tuttosport says the Old Lady are looking into a deal for the enforcer after knowing of his £20.5m release clause.

However, they will have to face stiff competition from Real Madrid, who regard the player as the ideal competitor to Casemiro.

The France international made the most number of interceptions in the Premier League during the previous campaign.
