N'Golo Kante says he snubbed Jose Mourinho's advance
N'Golo Kante says he rejected Jose Mourinho's approach this summer to sign for Chelsea instead of Manchester United.
“It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I’d been warned before how he would appeal to me," he said.
“I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United.
“But at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.
“My discussions with them were already well underway. But when I spoke, I had a good feeling with Conte.”
Kante has started the season in tremendous form, helping Chelsea to three wins from three games.
