Inter Milan are plotting a January swoop for N'Golo Kante, according to reports.

The Chelsea midfielder has been a long-term target for Antonio Conte, who brought him to Stamford Bridge from Leicester City in 2016.

Kante has been instrumental for Frank Lampard's side this season.

But Inter are hoping they can tempt Chelsea into selling next month.

According to Il Giorno via SempreInter, the Nerazzurri are hoping to sell Eriksen and use the money to bid for Kante.

They are hoping to move Eriksen for around €30-35m, with the Dane failing to settle in Italy since joining from Spurs in January.
