# Chelsea prepared to treble star’s wages in £20m midfielder swoop

![Kante](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/4791297-500x349.jpg)Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern have expressed their optimism ahead of the debut campaign under Antonio Conte, as they feel the Italian can lead them to success.

*[The Daily Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-ready-treble-transfer-target-8126877)*[state](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-ready-treble-transfer-target-8126877) Chelsea are prepared to treble the wages of Leicester City star N’Golo Kante, if he rejects the approaches of Paris Saint-Germain and other interested parties to seal a move to Stamford Bridge.
