Star midfielder N'Golo Kante hints at Leicester City stay

Leicester City's Players' Player of the Year N'Golo Kante hints that he is planning to stay at the club with Champions League football on the cards next season.

Standout midfielder N'Golo Kante has hinted that he will remain a Leicester City player this summer with the prospect of Champions League football next season.

Kante joined the Foxes from Caen last summer and shone in a battling midfield role as Leicester astonishingly won their first-ever top-flight title having only just avoided relegation in their first season back in the Premier League a year ago.

The 25-year-old's form has seen linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs, but the Frenchman is excited about playing in the Champions League with Leicester.

"The Champions League next season will be new for me but I hear good things," PA quotes Kante as saying.

"We don't know [if we can surprise in Europe], we have just joined at this moment, we will see. We have just done it for this season, next season we will see what will happen but we don't know.

"When I came here I can't imagine this, winning the title. Now we did it. It has been a good moment, we have to enjoy it."

Kante, who scored on his full international debut for France earlier this year, was recently voted Players' Player of the Season at Leicester's end-of-season awards.
