#3 Sarri hopes Hazard will sign an extension
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri will have been very happy that N’Golo Kante has put pen on paper to extend his deal with the Londoners. The French World Cup winner has extended his contract till 2023 and is reportedly set to earn £290,000-per-week.
The former Leicester City man has been an essential cog for Chelsea and is thriving under Sarri now. According to the Italian tactician itself, Kante is not only an important player in defense but is also improving as an attacker.
“He [Kante] is a very important player for us in the defensive phase and is improving in offensive movements,” he said.
He then added that he hopes for Eden Hazard to follow in Kante’s footsteps and sign a new deal with the Londoners.
“I don’t know about a new contract [for Eden]. I don’t know about the evolution of a new contract, I think we can do it. I hope so.”
