Real Madrid to bid for Kante

Real Madrid are considering a bid for Chelsea's N'Golo Kante, with the European champions reportedly compiling a dossier on the France World Cup winner, according to the Express.

Zinedine Zidane is eager to lure Kante's teammates Eden Hazard to the Bernabeu as well as Manchester United's Paul Pogba, but could turn to Kante if a deal for the Old Trafford star can't be reached.

The former Leicester player has been played out of position this term by boss Maurizio Sarri, who has preferred to use Jorginho at the base of his midfield.
