Reds join race to sign France midfielder

 

Liverpool are the latest side to show an interest in Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante, reports the Daily Star.

 

The France international played a starring role in the opening 2-1 Euro 2016 win over Romania on Friday night, which will have only increased the number of potential suitors.

 

Liverpool are now believed to have joined the race to sign Kante, who is subject to interest from Arsenal, Tottenham and PSG.

 

Having been a key man for the Foxes in their Premier League title win, Leicester will look to retain the services of the 25-year-old, who made more interceptions (156) than any other player in Europe's top five leagues last season.

Should he maintain his good form at Euo 2016, Leicester can command a big fee for Kante, who was heralded as one of the signings' of the season in England's top tier.

 

Jurgen Klopp is keen to mould the Liverpool midfield in his image, with Kante's high pressing approach a perfect fit for the German manager.
