Lampard says Kante is 'fundamental' to Chelsea and won't be sold amid Inter rumours

The France midfielder has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, but the Blues boss isn't interested in such speculation

Frank Lampard says N’Golo Kante is ‘fundamental’ to Chelsea’s plans going forward and he has no intention of selling him.

Inter have been among the teams linked with a move for Kante, amid rumours Chelsea were looking to sell him to fund a move for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.

Chelsea have been heavily involved in this summer’s transfer dealings, but Lampard says Kante isn’t on the market.
