Kante attracts Arsenal interest

Arsenal could launch a summer offer for Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante after it emerged that the Frenchman has a £20m release clause in his current deal.

The 25-year-old joined the Foxes from Ligue 1 minnow Caen last summer, and many doubted his ability to adapt to the English game.

However, he has since then a consistent performer for the Foxes, who are on the verge of attaining an improbable first league title this term.

According to The Mail, the France international has caught the attention of the Gunners following reports that he has a £20m escape clause in his contract.

Arsene Wenger's side are expected to bring in fresh recruits in the summer after they failed to make the most of their chances of winning the long-awaited title.

Kante is also said to be a top transfer target for Spanish giants Real Madrid.
