Sampdoria coach Claudio Ranieri describes why N’Golo Kante would be ‘an ideal purchase’ for Antonio Conte’s Inter from Chelsea.
It was Ranieri who turned Kante into a star when they won a fairy-tale Premier League title together at Leicester City.
The midfielder then made the move to Chelsea for €36m in 2016 and is now negotiating a Serie A switch for Inter.
“He’d be an ideal purchase, certainly for the Nerazzurri, but in general for Italian football too,” Ranieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He’d be an ideal purchase, certainly for the Nerazzurri, but in general for Italian football too,” Ranieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Kante is like a perpetual motion machine, he never stops running. He’s generous, good at winning back the ball, but he also has quality, even if he’s not a creative midfielder by any means.
“It’s rare you see him misplace a pass, largely because he always maintains such concentration all the way through.”
Chelsea want €50m for the 29-year-old France international.
