West Ham United are working to bring World Cup winner N'Golo Kante back to the Premier League, according to The Guardian.

The Al-Ittihad star was one of France's best players at Euro 2024, and has attracted the attention of those in charge at West Ham.

Kante rose to fame while at Leicester City and guided the team to their memorable Premier League title win in 2016.

He went on to join Chelsea afterwards in a €35.8 million deal.

The France international eventually left the Blues in 2023 to sign for Al-Ittihad on a free transfer.

West Ham would need to pay the Saudi Pro League side around £20m to bring back the 33-year-old to England this transfer window.
