JAKARTA - Former Chelsea star, N'Golo Kante, in a shocking talk with West Ham United.
The Hammers agreed to Al-Ittihad's request regarding Kante's price. According to The Guardian, West Ham is ready to make up 20 million according to the midfielder's request.
West Ham are interested in recruiting the defensive midfielder from France after choosing not to make Kalvin Phillips permanent.
Manager Julen Lopetegui also prefers Kante. He is an admirer of the 33-year-old player.
The Hammers shifted their target to Kante because Aleix Garcia chose to join Bayer Leverkusen.

If Kante is brought in, he will complete the purchase of West Ham in this summer's stock exchange. Previously, they had landed the main targets of Wolverhampton Wanderers defenders, Max Kilman, and Luis Guilherme and Wes Foderingham.
Kante will be projected to lead the team thanks to his experience. He has won two Premier League titles, one Champions League, one FA Cup, one Europa League, one UEFA Super Cup, and one Club World Cup while defending Chelsea and Leicester City.
Together with the French national team, his role is also quite important. He has won the 2018 World Cup in 61 appearances for Les Bleus.
Kante left Chelsea to join Al-Ittihad for a 86 million pound transfer in 2023.
Now, he has the opportunity to return to England if he joins West Ham United.
