The France international is approaching the final weeks of his current deal with the Blues, with speculation of a potential exit continuing to grow.
Since arriving in west London from Leicester City in 2016, the 31-year-old has played an integral role in helping Chelsea achieve Premier League and UEFA Champions League success.
However, in recent campaigns, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has struggled for fitness, subsequently leading to questions about whether he will continue at Stamford Bridge, but Kante has made it clear that he wishes to stay in the English capital with the two-time European champions.
Asked if he wanted to stay with Chelsea, the Paris native told Sky Sports: "For sure. It's an exciting project for the club.
"Unfortunately, this season hasn't been to Chelsea's standards. But everyone wants to go in this way, the way of success and winning titles.
"I hope this club will again fight in this direction. Let's see where I will be but I hope that this is a change for the club, that is most important."
With Kante having recently returned to regular action under interim boss Frank Lampard, the defensive midfielder hopes to have put his injury woes behind him.
"It was the purpose of the surgery, to come back strong. At the moment I feel good, hopefully it'll carry on like this," he added.
"For the last few weeks I've been playing, I've felt very good.

"I hope I will carry on for the rest of the season and hopefully the most difficult part is behind me, and I'm able to forget it – enjoying football again, enjoying wins again and enjoying hopefully more success."
