£470,000 per-week player identified as Chelsea's 'perfect' N'Golo Kanté replacement.

With N'Golo Kanté's increasing injury woes, Chelsea have been told to sign £470,156 per week player to replace him.

Former West Ham United midfielder, Frank McAvennie has given his thoughts on Frenkie De Jong replacing N'Golo Kanté.

N'Golo Kanté was left out of Tuchel's squad to face Leeds due to a hamstring injury that would reportedly leave him out for 'several weeks'.

This injury has brought up the question, do Chelsea need to replace the Frenchman?

Most people would say no, however, Kante only has one year left on his contract and he isn't in his prime anymore.

The Blues are currently in talks with Barcelona over a potential deal for Frenkie de Jong and some people have suggested he could be the 31-year-old's long-term successor at Stamford Bridge. One of such is pundit, and former Hammers' Frank McAvennie.

"They’re talking about De Jong," McAvennie told Football Insider.

“Would he make a difference at Chelsea? Yes. But then what is he going to do when Kante comes back?

“Kante is a big player for Chelsea and he does a lot of things that people don’t notice but every one of his teammates notice it. He’s a huge player for them.

“If it’s a hamstring it could only be three weeks.”

As per SPORTbible, Frenkie De Jong earns a whooping £470,056 per week, and if Chelsea are to land him, they would have to make him a record signing.

As per multiple reports, The 25-year-old has reportedly chosen Chelsea as his preferred destination over Manchester United if the Dutchman were to leave to the club due to the Blue's Champions League position.

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed. The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge. The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era. Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below. Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though. Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term.
