Kante is in the final year of his Chelsea contract and doesn't seem keen to accept a 2 year deal.

Fabulous player on his day but, at 32, summer suitors should be wary nervous about giving him too long / big a deal given his injury issues appear to be ramping up.

Talks of Hazard to Villa/Newcastle.

Villa already have an ex-PL playmaker who flopped in Spain and is well past his best.

Either side would be crazy to give him a big money multi-year contract. His injury record and form since leaving Chelsea are both woeful.

You’d imagine even with 12-18 months on his contract there’d be a £50m+ price tag.

Chelsea got £100m for Hazard with 12 months left on his contract and then there’s the english international tax on top.

He’s fairly average. Would rather see how Carvalho/Elliot develop and go big on a proper CM.

I rate him, but I take your point about Carvalho & Elliott. You could be saving a pile of dough if both are given enough minutes to reach their full potential.

Also agree that ££ should be prioritised for a physically imposing, mobile all-rounder in midfield.

But if there was a relative bargain to be had I'd be interested, although the worry is what you'd save on fees you often end up passing on in higher wages & agent fees.

He absolutely is not.

He might not be top drawer, but he's well above average.
