Despite all those highs, his career in the last few years has been plagued by injuries, especially at Chelsea.
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.
West Ham's new coach, Julen Lopetegui, is a big fan of the Frenchman and tried to sign him when he was Real Madrid's manager.
The defensive midfielder is reportedly happy in Saudi Arabia but is reportedly open to returning to London. He was recently asked about his career in Europe, per 90min.
"No, it's not over. I appreciate the feedback. In Saudi Arabia, it's new football, a new experience. Finding these feelings again with the French team is beautiful."
"I feel good, last season went well with Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, we had a good preparation with the French team. At the moment I feel good, I hope this continues."
