The latest player to be linked with the club is French World Cup winner, N'Golo Kante. West Ham want N'Golo Kante... However, CaughtOffside sources understand that at this stage, Al-Ittihad has no plans to sell Kante.
In addition, new coach, Laurent Blanc, has already met with his countryman and said that he trusts him. Saudi sources also say that Kante himself is happy to be at Al-Ittihad, though interestingly he wouldn't rule out the possibility of returning to the Premier League.
With money seemingly no object in Saudi, players wanting to move back to Europe from there would only be doing so from a professional, rather than financial, standpoint. Given that Kante ... the window of opportunity for him to return to the English top-flight is likely to be narrow, and therefore this could condition his decision.
