West Ham is interested in acquiring N’Golo Kanté, a former Chelsea midfielder, from Al-Ittihad. The two parties are currently in the process of negotiating, and there is a shared desire to reach a resolution for the 33-year-old player who represented France at Euro 2024.

Kanté, who relocated to Saudi Arabia in 2023 after spending seven years with Chelsea, is believed to be content with his present club. However, he is interested in returning to London. The midfielder, who demonstrated his capacity to excel at the highest level during Euro 2024, would necessitate a payment of approximately £20 million by West Ham.

After Kalvin Phillips failed to meet expectations during a loan stint from Manchester City last season, the Hammers are keen to acquire a defensive midfielder. Phillips’ contract was not extended. Julen Lopetegui, the new manager, has been a longtime admirer of Kanté and was interested in signing him during his limited tenure as Real Madrid’s manager. Aleix García, a Spanish midfielder, was previously a target for West Ham. However, he ultimately opted to join Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.

After relocating from Caen to Leicester in 2015, Kanté spent eight years in England. In 2016, he was a critical member of the Foxes team that stunned the world by winning the Premier League. He repeated this accomplishment the following season at Chelsea, where he won the Champions League, FA Cup, and Europa League after a £32m transfer to Stamford Bridge. In 2016-17, he was honored as the Premier League and PFA player of the year.

EngagingIn the semi-finals, France was unable to overcome Spain, despite the fact that the midfielder, who has 61 matches for his country, played in all six of the team’s games at Euro 2024. He was the victor of the 2018 World Cup at the international level, and West Ham believes that his experience would be essential in their new era under Lopetegui, who succeeded David Moyes at the conclusion of the previous season. He has the potential to become the fourth member of the squad following the arrivals of Wes Foderingham, Luis Guilherme, and Max Kilman.
