Although injury marred or reduced the consistent world class performance of N'Golo Kanté but selling him would be a great blunder. Chelsea might have other good defensive midfielders but the influence of Kante on the midfield cannot be overemphasized. His strength and inestimable stamina has not reduced. If Chelsea let Arsenal clinch him, then he would be a great asset to the Gunners. Chelsea has been very unlucky in the transfer market this season, hence it is very important they keep or retain the players they currently have.
Indeed, injuries sometimes make players decrease in quality. That's commonplace. It should be that if Kante gets into trouble it's possible he can get back to the best game. But also can he will not perform well. So there are two possibilities that will happen.
Maybe half a season of seeing him was enough for Tuchel to provide a chance. But at the moment I think it is still not appropriate to sell it. I really like him because he never gets tired of running.
Although Mikel Arteta is currently looking for a defensive midfielder, it is quite surprising to hear rumors that Arsenal want to sign Kante.
Because we know Kante is one of Chelsea's mainstay players, so I'm not sure Chelsea will sell Kante. Although it must be admitted that
Kante's performance had declined in the previous season, and even Kante's contract was only one year remaining, but that doesn't mean
Chelsea will let Kante move to Arsenal.
I think Chelsea management realizes that Kante's presence is still needed and will most likely extend Kante's contract. So rumors about Kante
moving to Arsenal are very unlikely to come true. But if it does come true that Kante was sold to Arsenal, I'm sure Chelsea will regret their decision.
After all, Kante is a player who is quite good at contributing to Chelsea, unfortunately an injury has made Kante's performance to decline.
But I believe now Kante is recovered and ready to play and show his best form to help Chelsea win the Premier League trophy.
