Chelsea have offered N'Golo Kante a new contract.

Foot Mercato says while the terms are unknown, the length of the deal runs to 2026.

The proposal is for 'slightly less' than his current agreement, which expires in June.

It's understood Chelsea's willingness to hand their players long-term contracts is in order to skirt Financial Fair Play rules by spreading player salaries over a longer period.

Kante has asked Chelsea for a few days to consider the proposal.
