N'Golo Kanté, the French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chelsea and France national team, has signed with Al Ittihad, a Saudi Arabian club.
The news was announced by both teams on Tuesday evening. Kanté's move to the Middle East giant comes after he had been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent months due to his contract expiring at the end of the season.
Kanté, who has been playing for Chelsea since 2011, is known for his technical ability, vision, and defensive work-rate. He has also won numerous awards throughout his career, including two UEFA Champions League titles and one Premier League title.
Al Ittihad, based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is one of the most successful clubs in the region, having won six consecutive league championships in the past decade. The club has a strong reputation for developing young talent and has produced some of the best players in the world over the years.
Kanté's signing will be a significant boost for Al Ittihad, who are currently sitting in second place in the Saudi Pro-League table. The club has a long history of producing top-class footballers, and Kanté's arrival could further strengthen their position in the league.
Overall, this is a great day for football fans in Saudi Arabia and beyond. Kanté's signing shows that the country is attracting some of the best talent from across Europe and beyond, and it's exciting to see how he'll perform for Al Ittihad.
