N'Golo Kante 'perfect fit' for Antonio Conte's philosophy at Chelsea

Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo has described new signing N'Golo Kante as the "perfect fit" for Antonio Conte's philosophy.

The 25-year-old midfielder finalised a switch to Stamford Bridge from Leicester City this afternoon, costing a reported £32m fee.

Kante was a key figure in the Foxes' historic Premier League title-winning campaign last season, playing in all but one of the team's top-flight matches.

"N'Golo is a fantastic signing ahead of the new season and we are delighted to have been able to bring such a talented player to the club," Emanelo told the club's official website. "He is a perfect fit in terms of Antonio Conte's philosophies and the style of football he wants to play.

"For a player of his age he has already built up a wealth of experience and his exceptional quality will without doubt be a great addition to the team."

Kante has put pen to paper on a five-year contract.
