Mason Mount has praised Tottenham Hotspur transfer target N’Golo Kante and stated that his Chelsea teammate has ‘everything’ to his game, as he told the Premier League.
The Chelsea and England midfielder added that Kante is ‘like an extra player’ and also ‘one of the nicest guys I have ever met in football’.
It has been an injury-hit season for Kante, who will miss the 2022 World Cup with France because of a hamstring injury, and he is also out-of-contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Given Kante’s current contract situation, it has seen talk of him possibly leaving the club, with Tottenham and Arsenal mooted as possible destinations for the player and added claims that he wants to remain in London.
That boosts Spurs and Arsenal’s chances of securing his signature, if he does head for the Chelsea exit door, as his current club teammate spoke very highly of his qualities.
“He does everything,” said Mount. “He’s like an extra player. He doesn’t stop running. He has got everything, he can score goals, he’s everywhere on the pitch and he’s probably the nicest guy I have ever met in football, so it just makes it even better. A top, top guy.”
ONE OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE’S BEST
Injuries have hurt Kante during these past 18 months, hence why there is little talk of him extending his current deal at Chelsea, despite it running out.
It’s a crying shame because the 2018 World Cup winner has so much to offer, for both his club and his country.
Whatever happens with the all-action midfielder, one thing is for sure, when he hangs up his boots, he will go down as one of the Premier League’s best-ever.
