Despite the stoppage of activities that the English Premier League has had as a result of the World Cup in Qatar, the English clubs have begun to move their cards facing the second round of the championship, where for now the Liverpool team is in sixth place in the table, just one unit away from getting fully into the fight for places in Europe for next season.

In this team building that Jürgen Klopp is doing, has transcended in recent days the name of the French player N'Golo Kante, who could leave London and sign for Liverpool FC, being one of the great successes that Klopp has in the transfer market. While the Reds are not closing the door on bringing in youth stars Jude Bellingham and Frenkie De Jong, Kante's arrival would give them total control of the midfield.

It is true that injuries have been the biggest headache facing The Pool in recent months, but Kante will also soon overcome the hamstring injury that kept him out of France coach Didier Deschamps' final squad for the World Cup in Qatar. The Frenchman has not played for Chelsea since the 2-2 draw with Tottenham in the Premier League on 14 August.

Kante's absence at Stamford Bridge has left manager Graham Potter rethinking the stay of the midfielder, who is under contract with the Blue's until June 2023. At the moment the board and his agent are holding talks for his renewal, but with nothing official, Kante could leave next summer and try his luck at another top EPL club, such as historic Liverpool.

Kanté could join Liverpool

Klopp knows perfectly well that Kante has many clubs in his sights, that thanks to his class and talent, the France international would be a mega signing for any institution. In addition, the French national team misses the contribution of the Russia 2018 World Cup winner in the midfield. No doubt Qatar would have been the perfect scenario to consolidate the career of the former Leicester City and SM Caen player.
