N’Golo Kante has expressed his happiness at seeing Chelsea FC secure a deal to sign Ross Barkley from Everton in the January transfer window, 90 Minutes Sports reports. Barkley became the first signing for Chelsea since the January transfer window opened. The midfielder is still waiting to make his debut, although he had featured in a closed door match with Queens Park Rangers where he bagged a brace.
He failed to make appearance on Saturday against Brighton because Conte's side roundly defeated their opponent 4-0 without any opposition. He is expected to be in available for selection when Chelsea travel to Arsenal on Wednesday for the Carabao Cup semi-final match. Both teams played out a goalless draw when they met in the first leg at Stamford Bridge earlier this month.
Speaking on the quality of the new addition, Kante who couldn't hide his admiration said;
“He is a good player. I played against him when I was at Leicester and in my first season at Chelsea. He has the ability to score. He can play in different positions: he is a very good no.10 or no.8. He can help us achieve our target this season.”
