Kante joined West Ham in the summer of 2024 from Paris FC, though spent last season on-loan and helping the French club to promotion to Ligue 1.
“It makes me really proud,” he said after signing his new deal.
“I have to keep working hard and pushing myself. When you’re focused on improving every day, that’s all you think about, so I’m very happy and I thank the Club for the confidence they’ve shown in me.
“My relationship with my teammates is developing really well. “Communicating can still be a bit tricky, but we understand each other. I’ve been taking English classes, and even off the pitch we can chat together, which is great.”
