Former Chelsea and France star Frank Leboeuf has praised the performances from fellow international N’Golo Kante this season and believes he’d be a perfect fit for Chelsea under Antonio Conte next campaign, according to Goal.
In the space of one season, Kante has gone from an unknown footballer in a fighting Leicester City squad to a massively important star for both club and country.
French legend Leboeuf believes that every time Kante puts on the international colours, the defensive-midfielder always puts in an exceptional performance.
It’s clear that Kante has become a key part of Deschamp’s French team, and it’s no wonder the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in his services.
25-year-old Kante will be trying to replicate Leboeuf’s success following France’s opening two wins. The aim now will be to win the tournament on home soil, just like back in 1984.
Lefoeuf is a firm believer that the Premier League winner would be a perfect fit at Stamford Bridge next season.
That would be great [a move to Chelsea], he already has a blue shirt but he can get a better one.
He is part of the new generation alongside Lassana Diarra, in a similar role to Claude Makelele beforehand. They are the same kind of players and absolutely fantastic. He is a fantastic player, rarely have I seen a player who has seduced me like that and his future is really bright.
