12 years ago today, Arsenal beat Leicester to confirm their status as the 'Invincibles'.

That was the last time Arsenal won the Premier League.

More than a decade on and Arsenal fans fell more aggrieved that this season - more than any other - that they have not won the title. Usual challengers Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City all underperformed, giving Arsenal their best chance in recent times to end their Premier League trophy drought.

Instead, the tap ran dry once again. Unexpectedly, Leicester one the ones redirecting the Arsenal supply.

Along with Mahrez and Vardy, one of Leicester's most important players was the omnipresent N'Golo Kante.

Signed from Caen for just £5.6 million, barely a blade of grass Premier League-wide went untouched by his feet.

According to reports in France, Kante will be the man to fill that defensive midfield hole in the Arsenal team which has been gaping for many a year. Apparently the 25-year-old, who will be playing at Euro 2016 with France this summer, has decided he wants to make the move to the Emirates.

Recently, it has been reported Kante has a release clause of around £20 million.
