"?Leicester City are said to be concerned that they may lose key midfielder N'Golo Kante to Arsenal this summer, with the France international yet to give any indication that he would reject a move to another 'big club'.
"?The Mirror report that the Foxes are beginning to get twitchy as the Gunners begin to firm up their summer targets, with Kante's reported release clause of £20m making him an incredibly tempting target for them and a horde of other clubs.

The midfield dynamo was a vital part of Leicester's Premier League success this season, buzzing around the middle of the park to snuff out any potential dangerous attacks with his impressive nous and ability to keep running long after every other player was exhausted.
He cast doubt on his Foxes future at the end of March though, saying: "I will fight for Leicester this season and next season we never know and we will see. At this moment I am focused on Leicester. We have to finish well this season but I don't mind about the other clubs."
Arsene Wenger also discussed the 25-year-old earlier this season, revealing that he had been aware of Kante for years. He said: "You look at his career and you will be amazed. Because he played in Suresnes in Paris at the age of nine, 10 years old. After, he went to Boulogne as an amateur. They didn't want to sign him pro.

"After, he went to Caen, and then he came finally to England. But, everywhere he has been, he has always adapted to the level where he was. One of my best friends in life knows him since he was 10 years old, and he spoke to me about him. We went to watch him and we saw he had quality, but I didn't know he would come so quickly to England."
