Manchester City have been urged to move for a former Chelsea star in a bid to strengthen their squad and gain an advantage over Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Dean Saunders has urged Manchester City to sign N’Golo Kanté, suggesting the French midfielder could be the missing piece in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Saunders believes Pep Guardiola’s side needs added steel and experience in midfield to gain an advantage over title rivals Arsenal, identifying the former Chelsea star as an ideal option for a return to English football.
Now 34, Kanté currently plays for Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League after leaving Chelsea in 2023 on a lucrative deal. However, his contract is reportedly due to expire in six months, potentially paving the way for a move back to the Premier League.

“This could be the biggest signing of the season. This is a big statement. I think Kante is available,” he said.
“I think he has been there long enough, and I think he needs to stay there to avoid paying taxes for a certain period.”
Saunders praised Kante’s enduring quality and suitability for City’s system. “He could play for any team anywhere in the world. The player who plays in the defensive midfield position thinks like a defender and covers a lot of ground.”
