Finally, Chelsea launch hunt for Kante replacement and his signing is close

Chelsea is looking like they now have a good option for Kante replacement as they have now launched a move to sign Barcelona top midfielder.

We all can agree Chelsea is missing Kante and his contributions for the club.

Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie is a target for Chelsea.

The Telegraph says the 26-year-old Ivorian is on Chelsea and Inter Milan’s radar this month.

Kessie left Milan last summer to join the Blaugrana on a free transfer, penning a four-year deal, but he has struggled for consistency.

Chelsea are looking to pick up a midfield addition and directors are keen on Kessie.

The Blues have already spent around €143m in this transfer window and are still keen to make a few more signings before it closes shut at the end of the month.
