N'Golo Kante and Granit Xhaka have both been linked with moves to Arsenal

Kante has been a stand-out performer in the Foxes title-challenging side this term and was named in the PFA Team of the Year.

Wenger has been hugely impressed by the 25-year-old's first season in the Premier League. 
Who is Arsenal's worst signing?

He said: “One of my best friends in life knows him since he was ten years old, and he spoke to me about him.

“We went to watch him and we saw he had quality. But I didn’t know he would come so quickly to England.”

And according to the Sun, Wenger has put the Frenchman at the top of his hit list.

The report adds the Gunners will target Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka if a deal for Kante falls through.

The north London club have apparently already held talks over a move for Xhaka, who is available for £34million.

Midfield reinforcements are expected to be required at the Emirates in the summer, with Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini all set to leave the club.
