Legendary midfielder Claude Makelele burst out praise for midfielder Chelsea N'Golo Kante.

Former footballer Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain Claude Makelele admitted that he is a big fan of midfielder "blue" N'Golo Kante.

"Every time I watch N'Golo Kant, I see in him a huge desire, great concentration and the desire to become better with every match," said Makelele.

"He was the heart of Lester, but he also looked like a bulldog on a walk - you have to drag him all the time, because it has so much energy".

"Now N'Golo has added in football intelligence. He better assesses the situation of his teammates and is able to play in a more complex system, where not everything is built on the running and screenings, but also depends on the decisions he makes ".

"Some players are destined to become superstars, but some - like N'Golo and me - should be happy with what they do best of other players".

"In the next season he will be even better, because he will play in the Champions League. He is also part of a fantastic generation of young French players, which will also help him to progress ".

"And I'm glad. People talk about "Makelele's position," but I'm already old, so it's time everyone called it "Kante's position". N'Golo deserves this ".

This season, the 26-year-old Kante not only won the Premier League with Chelsea, but also collected various individual awards, including Player of the Year in the Premier League according to players, Player of the Year in the Premier League according to journalists, and Player of the season in Premier League.
