The France international midfielder has impressed in the early stages of his Blues career, prompting a rather unusual comparison from his Belgian team-mate Eden Hazard has compared Chelsea team-mate N’Golo Kante to a “rat” for his all-action midfield displays.
Kante, who played a key role in Leicester City’s Premier League title triumph last season, moved to the Blues in the summer and has impressed in his early days at Stamford Bridge.
And Hazard has since lauded the midfielder’s impact at the club, although through a quite unusual comparison.”He [Kante] gives us confidence,” Hazard told Chelsea TV.
“We want to try to dribble and to pass the opponent because we know even if we try but don’t pass the opponent and if we lose the ball then he is there behind us, he can take the ball.”He is a fantastic player. He is a like a rat, he goes everywhere and he has a top mentality and is a top guy.”It is always good to play with the top players.”
