Multiple sources in France this morning claim N'Golo Kante has decided he wants to join #Arsenal #LCFC
Claudio Ranieri faces a huge struggle on his hands to keep his prized assets and he has already been dealt a major blow as Kante has reportedly decided he wants to join the Gunners.
Arsene Wenger will not be offering contract extensions to Mathieu Flamini, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta so he desperately needs some midfield cover.
Arsenal have lacked energy at times this season and the feeble way they rolled over in the title race suggests they need to be injected with the fresh impetus Kante could provide.
Wenger has also been linked with an audacious bid for the Foxes' flying wing-wizard Riyad Mahrez, although the player himself indicated he plans to honour his contract at the King Power Stadium.
Manchester City are also keeping close tabs on £25m-rated Kante as they prepare for a dramatic squad overhaul under incoming boss Pep Guardiola.
