Chelsea are reportedly keen to make N’Golo Kante our highest-paid player amid rumours of interest from French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Daily Mail, Chelsea have offered to double Kante money and reward him with a new deal worth £15million a season over five years.

If Kante signs the new deal offered by Chelsea, he would earn more than Eden Hazard who is currently Chelsea’s highest earner on £220,000 a week.

Kante joined Chelsea for around £30million in the summer of 2016 and is contracted until 2021 under the terms of his current deal.

The 27-year-old midfielder was an integral part of France’s World Cup winning squad in Russia this summer. He played in every one of France’s World Cup games.
