PSG and Barcelona make Kante top priority

Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have made Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante their top priority ahead of the January transfer window, according to Sportmediaset.

The Blues had in the last transfer window blocked a move from PSG for the France World Cup winner, but the Ligue 1 champions want to return in January for the tireless midfielder.

Kante recently admitted that he had interests from various clubs, including PSG during the last summer transfer window, but decided to stay at Stamford Bridge after discussing with Chelsea. He also said that staying at Chelsea is good for him.

The former Leicester City man is the latest midfielder to be linked with Barcelona, with Paul Pogba and Frenkie de Jong also wanted by the La Liga champions.

The Blues have not indicated that they are interested in selling the player who has featured in all six of Chelsea's Premier League games this season, including their opening fixtures in the UEFA Europa League last Thursday.
