Arsenal fall behind Juventus in race for Kante

Arsenal have fallen behind in the race for Leicester City midfielder N’Golo Kante, after European giants Juventus expressed their interest in the player.

The Frenchman has had a hugely impressive season and has made more tackles and interceptions than any other player despite joining the Foxes in the summer and has been named as the unsung hero who has led to Claudio Ranieri’s side topping the Premier League table.

With the Gunners identifying that Kante has a buy-out clause of just £20m, they have joined Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the Frenchman’s signature.

According to GazzettaWorld, Juventus have taken the lead in the race for Kante after Claudio Marchisio’s long-term injury meant that they were forced to enter the bidding war for a new player.
