N’Golo Kante has admitted he is flattered by all the praise he has been receiving this season.
In reaction to his top performances in the Chelsea midfield, the banter has been rife, coming up with ‘Kante-facts’. Among them was former Blues midfielder Marcel Desailly who joked Kante covers 29% of the earth.
Kante has however clarified that is not the case.
‘I am really happy with my performances this season,’ Kante said ahead of France’s World Cup qualifier with Luxembourg and friendly against Spain.
‘It is true that I receive a lot of praise and that is flattering. But I try not to let it affect me. The important thing is to end the season well.
‘My team-mates at Chelsea have told me about the ‘Kante-facts’. It is just a bit of fun. I obviously do not cover 30 per cent of the surface of the earth.
‘I made the right choice to come to Chelsea. We are in a good position and we are playing some great football.’
