Raise your hand if you had a clue who N’Golo Kante was this time last year? Apart from those who watch Ligue 1 on regular occasions, the Frenchman was a virtual unknown to English audiences. Boy, do we know him now.

The 25-year-old was a revelation as Leicester won the title, drawing comparisons to Claude Makelele in his pomp. Perhaps that’s why Chelsea wasted no time in swooping for the midfielder, tying him to a five-year contract after agreeing a £30 million fee with the Foxes.

The master of the interception, Kante’s stock is currently sky-high and is rightly regarded as one of the finest defensive midfielders in Europe.

A rating of ’76’? Don’t make me laugh.
