Kante has signed a five-year contract deal with Chelsea after completing his £32m transfer from Leicester
The France midfielder rejected the offer of a new City deal and instead becomes the second arrival of the Antonio Conte era at Stamford Bridge following the signing of Michy Batshuayi.
The fee paid by Chelsea represents a near-500 per cent profit on the £5.6m the 25-year-old cost Leicester when he joined from Caen 12 months ago.
My first season in English football was very special and now I hope to go on to achieve even more during my time as a Chelsea player. I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and helping the club achieve a lot of success."
Kante's departure deprives Claudio Ranieri of one of last season's key players as he plans the defence of Leicester's Premier League title.
