Chelsea news: N'Golo Kante seeks Carabao Cup record as Romelu Lukaku 'off the rails'

N'Golo Kante can join an elite group of Chelsea players if his side can lift the Carabao Cup on Sunday.

The Blues face off against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at Wembley hoping to claim their second piece of silverware this year following their Club World Cup win.

And the Carabao Cup trophy would be particularly important to French midfielder Kante.

It comes as Romelu Lukaku has been told he's gone "off the rails" at Chelsea by a former coach, and that his situation is now "out of hand"

And interested parties are reportedly on "high alert" over the possible sale of Chelsea.

Here are Mirror Football's latest Chelsea headlines.

Chelsea takeover eyed

Interested parties are reportedly on "high alert" over the possible sale of Chelsea.

Labour MP Chris Bryant used parliamentary privilege to question Roman Abramovich's ownership of the Blues after Russian president Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine earlier this week.

Abramovich has repeatedly denied any links between him and Putin. There is no suggestion Abramovich has been involved in any wrongdoing.

And according to Bloomberg, potential suitors – including some based in the US – have begun drawing up takeover bids amid the uncertainty.

Lukaku 'off the rails'

The Belgian striker gave an interview to Sky Italia earlier in the season claiming he is already unhappy with his situation at his new club, and the forward set an unwanted Premier League record against Crystal Palace last week as he touched the ball just seven times.

And now the player's former coach Jacobs has waded in on the situation – and told Lukaku what he needs to do to turn things around at Stamford Bridge.

Kante seeking record

N'Golo Kante can join Cesar Azpilicueta as the only Chelsea players to claim a clean sweep of trophies for the club – if his side can lift the Carabao Cup on Sunday.

The club's captain Azpilicueta claimed the incredible record only earlier this month when the Blues beat Palmeiras 2-1 in the Club World Cup final in Abu Dhabi.

The Spaniard has now opened up on potentially sharing the record with Kante – and how the player can keep improving for his club despite his advancing years.
