During his time at Chelsea, Kante won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup. He also lifted the World Cup with France in 2018.

The 32-year-old World Cup winner will team up with fellow Frenchman Karim Benzema who agreed to move to the Saudi Pro League champions this summer and both will be managed by former Wolves boss, Nuno Espirito Santo.
