According to a source, club bosses are confident that N'Golo Kante will extend his contract with Chelsea. His current deal runs through the summer of 2023. Initially, the owners of "Chelsea" had doubts about extending the contract with Kante, because the player was constantly in the infirmary. Kante last underwent hamstring surgery. The footballer himself also links his future with Chelsea.

In addition, Chelsea will try to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica and Jude Bellingham from Borussia in the summer.
