6) KANTE’S RELATIONSHIPS – HAS A GIRLFRIEND OR WIFE?
Kante is said to be a very private person and despite contrasting reports, it was known that Kante is yet to get married.

Despite his fame, N’Golo has not talked about his personal life. Currently, focusing on football career goal is everything for Kante.

7) HE WANTED TO BECOME AN ACCOUNTANT IF FOOTBALL DID NOT WORK OUT
The star midfielder revealed insights into his teenage. He said that if he would not have made it in big in football, he would have become an accountant. “When I was 18, I got my baccalaureate [the French A-Level equivalent]. And after that, I did two more years of study in accountancy.”

Kante kept his career options open in his youth days due to his future’s uncertainty. He said, “I wasn’t professional, so I kept studying because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make a living as a footballer. But when I went up to the first team, I became professional, so I stopped studying.”

We can know for certain that any firm that would have had him would have had an extremely hard working employee at their disposal.

KANTE HAS A SONG WHICH PROVES HOW MUCH HE IS VALUED BY THE FRENCH NATIONAL TEAM
Following victory in the World Cup final over Croatia last summer, the France squad serenaded the Chelsea midfielder in a way to show appreciation for his efforts in helping them to emulate the 1998 team.

The chant created by the French players caught fire over the summer and it probably had something to do with the fact it contained lyrics which highlight how he stopped Lionel Messi in the round of 16 clash against Argentina.

For those of you who don’t know the words just yet, here’s the lyrics in English:

“N’Golo Kante,
“Pala Lalala,
“He’s short, he’s nice,
“He stopped Leo Messi,
“But we all know he’s a cheater,
“N’Golo Kante”

Listen to the song in the video below:

Despite football, he adds some of the value of net worth from endorsements brands and companies. He is the brand ambassador for Adidas.


10) KANTE HAS A SURPRISING ROLE MODEL
The way N’Golo Kante plays the game many fans would be excused for thinking that Kante bases his game around another old destructive midfielder with the name Claude Makelele but Kanté instead said that it was Lassana Diarra, at Chelsea between 2005-07.


Lassana Diarra – Kanté’s Role Model

Makelele was part of the Chelsea team under Mourinho which won back to back titles in 2005 and 2006. He had a positional role named after him such was his influence that people call the holding midfilder role, the Makelele role.

[b]5) HE TRIES TO GET AWAY WITHOUT PAYING AT LUIZ’S AND WILLIAN’S LONDON RESTAURANT[/b]The two-time Premier League is not shy when it comes to claiming a free meal according to his Chelsea teammates.
Brazilian duo Willian and David Luiz own Italian restaurant Babbo in Mayfair and claim Kante always tries to get a free meal.

Speaking to Chelsea TV, Luiz said: “They love it because normally they come here and they don’t want to pay. Especially N’Golo.”



With Willian commenting: “If you ask N’Golo, ‘pay’, he does like that… ‘Yeah? I have to pay? Oh no! You and David you’re good, you have a good heart.’”

It’s good to know that Kante is a little flawed in a way

4) KANTE’S LIFESTYLE [CARS]
N’Golo Kante may have signed a £290,000-a-week five-year contract to become Chelsea’s highest-paid player but it almost certainly hasn’t gone to his head.

The loveable Frenchman is humble as ever and that is reflected in the car he drives – Kante still rocks up to training in a Mini Cooper S because that’s his preference.



According to story the 27-year-old had to be persuaded to buy a car when he first moved to England because he thought he would just run to training everyday.

Kante also owns Mercedes Benz-GLS which is worth $70,545

3) HE DECIDED TO BE A FOOTBALLER AT THE AGE OF 8
After the France 98 world cup, Kante saw a different France, A France of opportunities. He saw a country whose football glory came mostly from migrants.

Back then as a 7 years old boy who got used to menial jobs around Paris around suburbs, Kante already used to seeing and hearing big names of the FIFA 1998 world cup shortly after turning 8 aspired to take football as a career having noticed the opportunities close to his home.

2) KANTE WEARS THE SAME NUMBERED JERSEY AS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE PLAYERS
N’Golo Kante wears the No.7 shirt for Chelsea. The defensive midfielder took up the squad number Ramires vacated following his move to Jiangsu Suning.

In the Premier League era, the likes of Adrian Mutu, loanee Maniche and Andriy Schevchenko have all donned No.7 while playing for the club.

Didier Deschamps, also a defensive midfielder during his playing days, wore the No.7 during his one season at Stamford Bridge and Kante now occupies the same position and number as the France head coach.

N’GOLO KANTÉ IS A FRENCH PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER BORN ON 29 MARCH 1991 WHO PLAYS FOR THE FRANCE NATIONAL TEAM.
Chronologically, he has played for the following clubs – US Boulogne B, US Boulogne, SM Caen and Leicester City. Currently Kante is playing for Chelsea FC.

Kante was born in a Muslim family and has worked as a trash picker during his childhood. As a trash picker & grabber, he would walk for kilometers around the suburbs of eastern Paris looking for all sort of valuable waste to collect and deliver to small recycling firms for quick cash.

N’Golo Kante lost his dad at the tender age of 11. Being the eldest of four siblings Kante had the sense of responsibility from a very young age.

Let us wait and see if the 2 9ja child will honour them,i want 9ja coach to call them as well

The NFF just brought out the list of players to face brazil not long ago and i dont think they can change it now.

In the recent England Squad been realesed by Gareth Southgate, it has been noticed that the three lions coach called up four young chelsea starlet in the persons of Tammy Abraham (striker) Mason Mount (midfielder) Ross Barkley (midfielder) Fikayo Tomori (center back) to represent the three lions in the upcoming Euro qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
According to Frank Lampard the pensioners coach, he feels happy and delighted that kids had a called up, it shows that what we are doing here is a massive project and people out there are believing in it.
WHAT SOUTHGATE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE CALL UP
Gareth Southgate on Fikayo Tomori: "His profile as a defender fits with how international football is, he's capable with the ball. It's an opportunity to have a closer look at him in training with our group and he'll be feeling confident about himself. He's been in good form with Chelsea in big games against big opposition."
Gareth Southgate on Tammy Abraham: "It was a fairly easy decision as he's the leading English goalscorer in the league.
"We put him into the squad very young, when we were changing the complexion of what we were doing. That was a bit early for him but because of the opportunity given to him by Frank Lampard at Chelsea, we've brought him back in.
"This is now a great chance for Tammy. He's always scored goals for our junior teams, he's done that in the Championships and now he's grasped his opportunity at the beginning of this season.
'Too early for Hudson-Odoi' - Southgate
Gareth Southgate on Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was not selected after his recent return from an Achilles injury: "Callum's just back from a long-term injury, I had a good chat with Frank [Lampard] and we agreed it's a bit early for the seniors. Without stealing [England Under-21 coach] Aidy Boothroyd's thunder, there's an under-21 squad announced tomorrow."
They're in on merit' - Southgate
Tammy Abraham said on Wednesday that he was not decided on his international future. He is still eligible for Nigeria having only played in two friendlies for England.
England boss Gareth Southgate: "It's not ethically right to give someone a cap just so they can't play for someone else.
"He and Fikayo Tomori are both in on merit and have been part of our junior system right the way through, so we see them as English players and they have a huge desire to play for England at senior level."

My love goes to Tomori Abraham cn Bleep away
Though im a chelsea fan

Wetin i no go see
I think sa maybe e step down give another person oooo.
Da man na wise man sha, base on sa e dn da old eh kukuma handover give e better half

Why we da bother ourselves wen gareth Southgate dn already call Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori for England squad

The chelsea duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori both of Nigeria descent have been called up by Gareth Southgate to represent the 3 lions in the upcoming Euro qualifiers.

There is a first call-up for defender Fikayo Tomori, while his Chelsea team-mate, striker Tammy Abraham, has also been picked.

Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has again been omitted.

England play the Czechs on 11 October and Bulgaria on 14 October.

Everton midfielder Fabian Delph has been recalled, but Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain misses out.

Injured Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also not included.

Midfielders Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard have been left out of England manager Gareth Southgate's squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers away to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

England squad:

Goalkeepers: Tom Heaton (Aston Villa), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley)

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Leicester), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Michael Keane (Everton), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Danny Rose (Tottenham), Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid)

Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Chelsea), Fabian Delph (Everton), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Declan Rice (West Ham), Harry Winks (Tottenham)

Forwards: Tammy Abraham (Chelsea), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Callum Wilson (Bournemouth)

creolehunt:
Tomori will be deluded to think he can bench Alexander Trent. As long as this guy is fit, no English Right Back will smell a jersey; arguably the best right back in the world at the moment. Don't forget they still have Kyle Walker who is a natural right back, and of course Trippier.

Southgate just want to cap Tamori, so as to secure him, that's all.

Please get ur fact right Tomori is not a right back but a center back

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham says he "has not decided" on his international future after scoring in Wednesday's Champions League victory over Lille.

The 22-year-old is yet to play in a competitive fixture for England but appeared in friendly draws with Germany and Brazil in 2017.

He is eligible to play for Nigeria despite featuring at three youth team levels for England.

"I haven't made a decision yet. I am focusing on the club," said Abraham.

"It is always a privilege to be wanted by both nations," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I love both nations and for me I am clearly doing something right for Chelsea. My time will come."

Abraham was part of the England under-21s European Championships squad this summer.

England manager Gareth Southgate will name his senior squad for upcoming Euro qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria on Thursday.

Abraham, who has netted eight goals in 10 games in all competitions for Chelsea so far this season, is currently joint-second in the Premier League's top scorers charts.

"I am from an area where I have grown up with different culture backgrounds. I am fully aware Nigeria is a massive country," Abraham added.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, speaking to Radio 5 Live, added: "Tammy is handling the situation as he does with everything in life. He takes it with enthusiasm, happiness, desire to work.

"He wants to be the best and with that comes international recognition. I say it every day, it is his decision and the next decision on that front is for Gareth [Southgate]. I never want to tell him what to do."

Abraham spent the 2018-19 season on loan at Aston Villa in the Championship and scored his first goal in the Champions League for Chelsea on Wednesday.

Lampard said he hoped to see "many more" goals from Abraham, who linked up with compatriot Fikayo Tomori to score - the first time since March 2012 that two Englishmen were involved in the same goal in the Champions League for Chelsea.

"Tammy's performance was more of the same of what we have been seeing," said Lampard. "He's hungry for goals, he's physical, he gives everything for the team, he has quality with the ball at his feet.

"It's his first Champions League goal and we'll see many more, I hope, and many more performances like [Wednesday]."
<b>While England manager Gareth Southgate is considering calling Chelsea central defender Fikayo Tomori, 21, into his squad for Euro 2020 qualifying games against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. </b>
