Arsenal, Man Utd continue with pursuit of Leicester star Kante

Arsenal and Manchester United are still believed to be very much interested in N'Golo Kante.

The French midfielder was a colossal figure for Leicester City as they surprised the football world by winning the Premier League title in 2015/16.

There have been no surprises that the likes of the Gunners and Red Devils have been credited with a genuine interest in the 25-year-old following his stunning season for the Foxes, and it is understood that the Premier League giants remain keen despite the arrival on the scene of Paris Saint-Germain.

The French champions are desperate to sign former Caen star Kante but the Daily Express understands that Arsenal and United remain very much in the running.

The Gunners may have signed Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach for £30million on Wednesday but that has not stopped them from looking to further add steel to their midfield.

Meanwhile, incoming United boss Jose Mourinho is set to be given £200m to gone a summer spending spree and could use some of that booty to lure Kante from the King Power Stadium to Old Trafford.
