N'Golo Kante has conceded that the Chelsea squad have been surprised by Roman Abramovich's shock choice to sell the club.
Having turned into Chelsea's owner back in 2003, Abramovich has seldom seemed as though giving up control at Stamford Bridge for a significant part of the most recent 19 years.
In any case, following Russia's full-scale intrusion of Ukraine, the 55-year-old picked to surrender the 'stewardship' of Chelsea to the legal administrators of the club's altruistic establishment on Saturday.
With MPs calling for Abramovich to be endorsed, the Chelsea owner then, at that point, went above and beyond by declaring on Wednesday that he was putting the club available to be purchased.
The circumstance has moved at pace as of late, and Kante has recognized that the players didn't anticipate that things should play out along these lines.
'It's something we were not arranged [for], it came rapidly,' he told Sky Sports News, as cited by talkSPORT.
The midfielder has now asked his partners to zero in on performing on the pitch rather than agonizing over what is happening in the background.
'The main thing we can do, in light of the fact that we don't control these things, is to do the best that we have done 100% of the time.
'And that implies that playing football at the best [possible level], as far as we might be concerned, for the club, for the fans and perceive how the things are going and it's the main thing we can handle,' he added.
Some Chelsea fans might be worried that Abramovich's flight could prompt a mass migration of players before long.
Kante has unequivocally implied that he needs to stay in west London, however, to assist the Blues with proceeding to push for flatware.
'Since I came here I've spent numerous incredible seasons, with the group, the directors and the fans.
'I want to believe that we can continue like this, continue to win, and that is the manner in which I see the future,' he said.
Kante and his colleagues will be back in real life on Saturday when they travel to Burnley as they hope to expand on their midweek prevail upon Luton in the FA Cup.
