Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is in advanced talks with Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad.

Kante is off contract at the end of the month and has seen talks over a new deal stall on several occasions this year.

Tribalfootball.com's transfer expert Rudy Galetti is reporting Kante and departing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema are both set to sign for Al Ittihad.

The Saudis are also in talks with Adama Traore as his Wolves deal runs down:

"Al Ittihad update:

"Benzema, contract terms agreed, just signature missing;

"Kante, new meeting in the next hours. Good chances to close the deal;

"Adama Traore, evaluations still in progress on the player side;

"Zaha, the Saudi club withdrew the bid."
