Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is on the brink of signing a new deal.

Kante, 31, is out of contract at the end of this season in just three months' time.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are both monitoring his situation in the hope of securing a free transfer, while Liverpool were also linked.

However, they are all expected to be left disappointed with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano stating Kante is close to putting pen to paper on an extension at Stamford Bridge.

The Sun says the deal will likely run until 2025 - with Chelsea having the option to trigger an additional 12 months.
