We haven’t yet had confirmation from Chelsea or Al Ittihad that N’Golo Kante’s free transfer move there has been completed.
In fact, according to a video report on Sky Sports this afternoon, Chelsea still have an offer of their own the table, just in case the Frenchman changes his mind at the last moment.
You can see their report on the move in the clip embedded here:
N'Golo Kante is closing in on a move to Al-Ittihad as the midfielder, who will be a free agent at the end of this month. There is also a deal from Chelsea to remain a player.

The moment that’s done, Chelsea’s need for a midfielder ramps up significantly. They needed one even if he stayed, now all their eggs are in the new signing basket on that front.
It won’t be long before this is concluded, and then the ball is in our court to make things happen for Mauricio Pochettino.
