A report in France claims that midfielder N'Golo Kante has a £20m release clause written into his Leicester City contract.

Champions Leicester City could reportedly lose the services of midfielder N'Golo Kante for just £20m this summer.

The 25-year-old, who arrived at the King Power Stadium last August in a £5.6m deal from Caen, has been widely praised for the performances that he has produced this term.

His name has since been linked with a host of clubs, but Leicester's owners recently insisted that no key players will be sold ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.

However, according to Le Parisien, the France international has a buyout clause in his contract, which could spark a battle for his signature.

The report adds that Arsenal and Chelsea have already made their interest known, as have French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Kante has made 37 appearances in all competitions this term, from which he has scored one goal.
