Chelsea head manager, Frank Lampard, has played down
speculation that midfielder, N’Golo Kante, could be set to leave the Blues for
Inter Milan this summer.
Recall that reports earlier this week suggested that Kante
had emerged as a target for Inter Milan manager, Antonio Conte, who is
targeting at least three players, including Emerson Palmieri and Olivier Giroud
from Chelsea this summer.
Conte wants to be reunited with Kante to improve his squad
ahead of the 2020/21 season.
Reacting to the development ahead of Chelsea’s Premier
League tie with Brighton on Monday, Lampard insisted that Kante is
“fundamental” to his plans for the new season, adding that he would do
everything within his power to keep the France international at Stamford
Bridge.
Asked about reports linking Kante with a move to Inter
Milan, Lampard told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I think pretty much every club in the
world would want N’Golo Kante.
“I saw those reports as well. He is an incredible player,
and I certainly do not want to lose him, no.
“He is fundamental to what I am trying to do. We can
obviously talk about the attacking players we’ve but someone like N’Golo and
the work he does in midfield.
“It was a difficult year for him last season because of the
injuries.
“He looks fit and fresh at the moment so, no, he is a big
deal to me, and of course I want to keep N’Golo.”
