"N’Golo fits into every manager’s plans on the planet," Thomas Tuchel stated with complete confidence early into his Chelsea tenure.
"I was desperate to have him in my teams. Now I am so lucky to have him in my squad. To see the guy live, to see how he works, how humble he is, and what quality he gives to this team, it is a gift to be his coach."
Tuchel is not the first coach to be beguiled by N'Golo Kante. Nor do you suspect he will he be the last. The French midfielder is a rare breed: a genuine world-class star without the slightest hint of ego. Chelsea are fortunate to have the 30-year-old in their squad.
