The new "Chelsea" defender N'Golo Kante revealed his reasons for choosing.
The Frenchman, who cost £32 million, insisted that his decision was influenced by a conversation with "Blues" coach Antonio Conte.
"This is a big club that has just hired a great strategist and I want to help achieve their high ambitions.
This project and the coach's speech convinced me to choose a new adventure," the player said.
Kante is the first significant loss of the "Leicester" team in the offseason.
However, the team defending the title of English champions managed to keep striker Jamie Vardy, who rejected an offer from "Arsenal" and signed a new contract.
