“Yeah for sure,” Kante told Sky Sports when asked if he would like to be a part of the revolution at Chelsea in the coming years.

“It’s an exciting project for the club. Unfortunately, the season has not been a standout for Chelsea. I’m sure everyone wants to go this way; the way of success, the way of winning titles.

"I hope this club will fight again in this direction. “Let’s see where I will be but I hope that this is a change for the club, that is most important.”

More on the situation

Kante has battled with injuries throughout the season and has only played 9 times for Chelsea in all competitions. However, when fit, he is arguably the Blues' most important midfielder.

Frank Lampard's men are back in Premier League action when they host relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
