Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has spoken of his admiration for N’Golo Kante amid speculation the Leicester City midfielder could be set for a move to the Emirates.
Kante, 25, was a key player for the Foxes as they stormed to the Premier League title but the France international has since stated that he will decide on his future after Euro 2016.
Many Gooners have been praying Arsene Wenger attempts to sign him this summer and the Gunners boss has now piled the praise on his compatriot.
‘I admire and like N’Golo Kanté a lot. It gives you ideas,’ he told beIN Sports.
‘He gives you the feeling that the higher the level he plays at, the more at ease he is.

‘We are talking about numbers. He has the most interceptions in Europe and by far.
‘He has incredible quality. He feels the game, only very few people can do that. He’s always where he needs to be.
‘It is very rare to have that in the central midfielder. Not always orthodox, but always in the right place.’
The midfielder reportedly has a £20million release clause in his contract at the King Power Stadium.
