Top source for all things football, Fabrizio Romano, has stated that Chelsea star N’Golo Kante’s contract talks are progressing well. The France National Team member is expected to commit his direct future to CFC.
When Fabrizio tweets, we all listen. Just to reiterate, if you’re unaware of the most popular transfer expert. In addition, the journalist from Italy typically has inside knowledge on manager status and inner club negotiations. This time, on Sunday, Romano spoke on Kante’s discussions with the west London club. I’m not going to waste your time or bore you discussing how great the midfielder has been at Stamford Bridge and elsewhere in a Blues shirt – the record speaks for itself. So consider this good news!
In spite of Kante now entering the twilight years of elite sport, he clearly remains valued by Chelsea. Frankly, there is rumoured interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, so I think that too is telling. Romano says the Frenchman is in the final stages before an imminent agreement.
Liverpool legend criticises Chelsea winger
Steven Gerrard has given Blues man Mykhailo Mudryk some criticism to ponder following Ukraine’s 2-0 defeat to England at Wembley. All-time Three Lions leading goalscorer Harry Kane was on the scoresheet as usual. Meanwhile Bukayo Saka also netted for Gareth Southgate’s team.
But Mudryk was poorly appraised by Gerrard, who proclaimed himself ‘really disappointed’ in the CFC player’s performance. The former clearly didn’t mark Saka close enough as the Arsenal wingman set up Kane’s goal. The ex-Red believes that the away side’s coach will be upset with what he saw, as well.
To be fair, Gerrard was respectful and seemingly sincere in his critique of Mudryk. The latter was also singled out for, naively, not putting the Gunner onto his weaker foot. While the retired professional said the Ukrainian was still young and learning his trade.
