Mason Mount claims Chelsea teammate N’Golo Kante simply “does everything” on a football pitch.

Kante, 31 is one of the few superstar names at Stamford Bridge right now.

The box-to-box midfielder has a CV that speaks for itself. In our view, he’s somewhere near the very top when talking about the club’s best ever midfielders.

Unfortunately, Graham Potter has yet not been able to play him since becoming head coach.

Kante has been sidelined with a hamstring problem since mid-August, which is keeping him out of the World Cup this winter in Qatar.

Any new Chelsea manager must get excited about the possibility of coaching the Frenchman, so it’s a shame he’s not been available under him yet.

N’Golo Kante does everything

Chelsea’s Mount has waxed lyrical about the ability of his fellow Blues midfielder:

“He (Kante) does everything. He’s like an extra player. He doesn’t stop running. He can score goals. He’s everywhere on the pitch. He’s probably the nicest guy I’ve met in football,” Mount said.

You’ll probably find every player out there massively rates Kante, whether that be a teammate or an opponent.

The levels he’s reached in Chelsea colours is truly remarkable and he can be impossible for opposition players to play against when he’s in full flow.

Unfortunately, the injuries continue to pile up and his body keeps breaking down, Many would suggest it’s because of the amount of miles he’s got on the clock.

Chelsea supporters should enjoy Kante while he’s still at the club.

Hopefully, he comes back post-World Cup to really help Potter’s side on the pitch.

With his contract at Stamford Bridge expiring at the end of the season, there’s plenty of speculation about his future.

La Repubblica reports that Juventus and Inter Milan are interested in trying to sign £16million-rated Kante.
