Confirmed: Arsenal target N'Golo Kante completes Leicester City move
N'Golo Kante completes summer move to Leicester City
LEICESTER CITY have completed the signing of Caen midfielder N'Golo Kante.
 
The uncapped Frenchman arrives on a four-year deal to become Claudio Ranieri's first signing since replacing Nigel Pearson at the helm.
A club statement read: "Leicester City Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of N’Golo Kante from French Ligue 1 side Caen on a four-year deal."
Leicester reportedly negotiated a fee with Caen last month, believed to be £5.6million.
 
The 24-year-old is the fourth arrival at the King Power Stadium this summer, following defenders Robert Huth and Christian Fuchs and striker Shinji Okazaki.
Premier League rivals Arsenal are long-term admirers of Kante, while Marseille have been in talks with the defensive midfielder for a number of weeks.
The club added: "The Foxes beat off firm competition to secure the signature of Kante, whose tenacious and tough tackling approach has seen him catch the eye of a number of teams across Europe."
