Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger has revealed that he made two attempts to sign Chelsea's workaholic midfielder, N'Golo Kante.
Weneger said he was interested in signing N’golo Kante both when he was in France and at Leicester City.
Chelsea eventually signed Kante last summer for £32 million but, in explaining why Arsenal missed out, there was a clear hint that they were unable to match the Premier League leaders' financial offer.
“Have I looked to sign Kante? Yes. When he was in France and when he was at Leicester,” Wenger said.
“I cannot explain everything [about why he preferred Chelsea] but it is quite obvious when you look at where he has gone. Was it the money? I do not want to talk about that. Transfers are transfers – you cannot explain absolutely everything.”
