Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has claimed that N'Golo Kante is in control of his own future amid reports that Chelsea are interested in the midfielder.
The France international played a pivotal role in the Foxes' historic Premier League title-winning campaign last season.
As expected, Kante's performances have attracted interest from a handful of clubs, one of which is believed to be Chelsea.
Ranieri has confirmed that the midfielder was offered a new deal before heading to the European Championships with the France national team, but the player himself is yet to make up his mind.
"We offered Kante a new deal before he went to the Euros," ITV Sport quotes Ranieri as saying. "Now I know there are a lot of big teams interested. It's in his hands."
Kante, who has not yet joined up with his teammates for pre-season training following his participation at Euro 2016, signed for the Foxes from Caen for £5.6m last summer.
