In continued desperate steps to keep its winning team intact, Premier League title holders, Leicester City has kicked off moves to block top clubs Manchester United and Arsenal from taking away another of its stars, N’Golo Kante by offering him a new deal.
According to reports in The Sun UK, Leicester City is now set to offer N’Golo Kante a lucrative new contract worth £100,000-a-week to ward off interest from Manchester United.
