Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has taken legal action against his former image agent.

L'Equipe says Kante has lodged a complaint to the Paris public prosecutor's office against his former image agent Nouari Khiari.

A contract was signed in July 2016 and it's claimed Kante twice tried to end the collaboration in exchange for compensation. The midfielder's unhappiness is related to sponsorship proposals that did not please Kante, including that with a sports betting company.

Kant tried to put an end to the agreement in July 2017, in exchange for compensation. He first offered 150,000 euros for contract termination, then made a second proposal of 300,000 euros,

Kant's current sports advisor, Abdelkarim Douis, has also lodged a complaint against Khiari.
