Listen: Creating N'Golo
Kante
How do you create the next
N'Golo Kante?
The league's 'most complete
midfielder'
Kante was key to Leicester's
surprise Premier League win last
year and could become first
player to achieve the distinction
of winning successive titles with
different clubs if Chelsea can stay
ahead of Spurs in this season's
race.
Since signing Kante in July,
Chelsea have gone from a mid-
table finish to the top of the pile
with six games to play.
In his absence, Leicester have
largely struggled to replicate
their heroics of last season and
are still not safe from relegation.
France international Kante has
played every minute in the
league this season apart from
the Boxing Day game against
Bournemouth, when he was
suspended, and the final 11
minutes against Tottenham on 4
January.

Speaking earlier this season, BBC
pundit Phil Neville described
Kante as "the one who has
knitted this Chelsea team
together".
"I thought he was a number six
like former Chelsea player Claude
Makelele. But he is a number six,
an eight and a 10 - he plays
absolutely everywhere, three
different positions," he said.
"I think Kante is the most
complete midfielder in the
Premier League at the moment.
"He will redefine what we are
looking for from a midfield
player."

TheBlessedMAN:
this is kante

the first time i saw this young man played, i knew he was made of great abilities.
They say the bobo ugly, in the voice of ''theblessedman''.
He has done himself proud. Shine on KANTE!

This is no surprise.

Every objective football fan will understand Kante is everything right for CFC and the setback for LFC.

This unassuming and industrious boy is simply outstanding.
