Bengaluru, March 21: Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has reiterated his loyalty regarding his club future in the midst of reports linking him with a move to Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

The 26-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Leicester for £32m in 2016, has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe in the last three years.

Kante made the move to London after winning the Premier League title with Leicester and in the following season, again with the Blues won the League second year in succession with his new side to become the only player since Eric Cantona in 1993 to win consecutive titles with various clubs.

His impressive display now reportedly has caught the eye of PSG as they seek for more resources after crashing out of the round of 16 in Champions league.

As per reports, the Les Parisiens are planning to exploit Chelsea’s current turmoil situation who are five points off the top four spot and could miss the UEFA Champions League next year.

However, last year's Chelsea's player of the year, Kante now has reassured Chelsea fans he isn't looking for an exit and his loyalty is very much settled with the Premier League side.

Kante said: "I am at home. It is my club, I am a Chelsea player. This is my second year at Chelsea. After what happened last season, it was a very good one for us because we got to celebrate winning the title.

"In the second season, I have got to play in the Champions League and we are going to again finish in the top four. We will fight until the end to finish in the top four and to get in a Champions League position.

“We also have the FA Cup to play for - it is a good competition. Last season we failed in the final. It is the only trophy we can win this season, so we have to give everything to get to the final and win it."

The French midfielder has made 79 appearances in all competitions since joining Chelsea in 2016 and still has three years left on his contract. He currently is with the National team as France will play two friendly matches against Colombia and Russia in the coming weeks.
