Al Ittihad has officially announced the signing of N’Golo Kante on a four-year contract. The Saudi Arabian club has managed to secure the services of one of the most highly sought-after midfielders in the world, further bolstering their ambitions for both domestic and international success.
The acquisition of Kante represents a major pull for Al Ittihad, as they have successfully beaten out several top European clubs who were also looking for his signature. The French international, known for his work rate, exceptional ball-winning ability, and impressive passing range, will undoubtedly bring a new dimension to Al Ittihad’s midfield.
Kanté, a two-time Premier League champion with Leicester City and Chelsea, has long been admired for his remarkable consistency and versatility on the pitch. His presence in midfield has been key to the success of the teams he has played for, with his exceptional ability to intercept opposition attacks and drive the ball forward quickly to initiate counter-attacks.
The move to Al Ittihad marks a significant shift in Kante’s career, as he departs the highly competitive European leagues to embrace a new challenge in Saudi Arabia.
