One of the more noteworthy parts of Chelsea's forgettable 1-1 draw with Leicester on Thursday was Thomas Tuchel's bold words on N'Golo Kante in the post-match press conference.
When asked how important the midfielder is for Chelsea for next season and beyond Tuchel did not hide his feelings.
"I think he is our key, key, key player, but key, key, key players need to be on the pitch," he said. "He plays only 40% of the games then it is maybe a miracle that we arrive in third place. He is our Mo Salah, he is our Van Dijk, he is our De Bruyne. He is simply that player, he is our Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
