His international career was thought to be over, but he bounced back at the just concluded European Championships in Germany. Didier Deschamps played him in every match as they reached the semi-final.
N'Golo Kante to EPL?
According to The Guardian, West Ham are looking to sign the midfielder from Al-Ittihad. The report adds that talks are ongoing between the two clubs, and a deal is possible.
