N’Golo Kante Chelsea farewell creates unsolvable problem for Mauricio Pochettino.
N’Golo Kante sent a farewell message to the Chelsea fans after completing his move to Al-Ittihad.
Kante said goodbye to Chelsea before joining Al-Ittihad. Unquestionably, Kante is still one of the club’s biggest legends. It is challenging to convey the significant contribution Kante made to Chelsea throughout his tenure.
The 32-year-old will depart Chelsea when his deal at Stamford Bridge expires the following week. He has a contract with Al-Ittihad and will start playing for them for free on July 1.
Kante won the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, Super Cup, and Club World Cup during his seven-year stay at Stamford Bridge, cementing his status as a club legend.
After both teams confirmed the deal this week, his Chelsea teammates have all individually taken to social media to wish him well and say their goodbyes.
On Kante’s departure, co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley told the club’s in-house media: “N’Golo’s impact and influence during his time at Chelsea cannot be overstated. His tireless performances in midfield contributed to several trophy wins and has guaranteed him a place in the club’s history. We wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter in his career.”
Now the France international has addressed Chelsea, its fans, players and staff after leaving.
“Goodbye Chelsea,” Kante begun.
“The time has come to open a new chapter in my career. But before doing so, it was important for me to thank the great and wonderful Chelsea family.
“Fans, players, directors, coaches, members of the medical staff, everyone who has supported me over the last seven seasons with this legendary club. So many fond memories, so many victories, so many titles won at your side.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll never forget you.
“I’d also like to thank my family, my close friends, who have always been by my side through good times and bad. Not forgetting my agent, Karim, and my advisers Rachid and Driss, who have been by my side with unfailing support since I started out. These last few months have not been easy for us and our families. But we’ve managed to stick together in the face of rumours and lies. They too have played a major role in my success.
“See you soon on the pitch for new adventures with Al Ittihad and Les Bleus.”
