Chelsea are smashing their wage ceiling to secure N'Golo Kante to a new contract.
It emerged yesterday that Chelsea are willing to hand the midfielder a deal worth £290,000-a-week to convince him to stay - making Kante the highest paid in the club's history.
Le 10 Sport says the deal is on the table and smashes a previously set wage cap.
Chelsea ace Eden Hazard is currently the club's best paid at €7m-a-year, however they're now willing to pay Kante a salary of €11m.
The France World Cup winner is now in his third season at Chelsea.
