          FORMER PL STAR URGES CHELSEA TO CASH IN ON WORLD-CLASS MIDFIELDER

 
Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson believes that the Blues should sell N’Golo Kante while they can. This comes amid speculations that the midfielder could leave for free next summer. Kante sees his current contract expire in 2023. While a new deal has been offered to the midfielder, both the parties have reached a stalling point surrounding the length of the contract. The west London club have offered the 31-year-old a two-year deal. However, the French international has turned it down as he wants a four-year contract.

And now, former Blues defender Johnson has suggested that the club should cash in on the World Cup winner while they can. Speaking to Boyle Sports (h/t Metro), the right-back gave his suggestion. He said Chelsea should possibly cash in on N’Golo Kante. He’s been linked with many clubs that might want him. They’re struggling to agree on a deal with him too. If Kante wants to stay and play then Chelsea will want him to. But there’s always a business decision when a player might want too much, or the club is giving them too little – then they should shake hands and part ways.

Johnson: I Have No Regrets Leaving Liverpool

Glen Johnson made 200 appearances during his six-year stint on the Merseyside before joining Stoke City when his contract with the Reds expired in the summer. Glen Johnson insists he bears no grudges over his Liverpool exit and claims he rejected the chance to stay at Anfield.

The belief had been that Glen Johnson was forced to leave the Anfield against his own wishes. However, the former West Ham right-back claims he has no regrets over his departure as he left on his terms. He said: “I had a very good time [at Liverpool] and enjoyed the majority of it. But I turned down a new contract at the end of the day, so it ended exactly how I would like.”

He revealed that he met Mark Hughes who said to him everything that he wanted to hear. He says he’s settling in well and he feels welcomed in the club so it couldn’t have been going any better at the moment. Liverpool missed out on a Champions League spot after a disastrous end to the 2015/2016 season that saw them win just one of their final six matches, including a 6-1 drubbing at Stoke on the last day.

Rodgers brought in Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and James Milner as part of a massive overhaul the next summer that has seen skipper Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling join Johnson out the exit door. Johnson began his career at West Ham United, spending time on loan at Millwall, and was signed by Chelsea for a £6 million fee after West Ham’s relegation in 2003. He helped Chelsea win the 2004–05 Premier League title and the 2005 League Cup Final. In June 2006, Johnson joined Portsmouth on loan for the 2006–07 season.  Following a successful season on loan at Fratton Park, Johnson joined Pompey a permanently for a fee of around £4 million.
