Gary Lineker backs Chelsea to win the Premier League title this season following the capture of N'Golo Kante from Leicester City.

Gary Lineker has backed Chelsea to go all the way and win the Premier League title this season following the arrival of new signing N'Golo Kante.

The Blues announced the transfer this afternoon, with reports claiming that the club parted with £32m for the midfielder's services.

Kante, who was a key player in Leicester City's historic title-winning campaign last season, was offered a new contract at the King Power Stadium, but turned them down in favour of a switch to Stamford Bridge.

Lineker, who supports and played for Leicester, tweeted: "Inevitably Kante has gone. Fancy Chelsea will now win the title. He's that good!"

Kante spent one season with the Foxes following a £5.6m switch from Caen last summer.
