N’Golo Kante may have left Chelsea a year ago, but Chelsea fans will never forget him.

In his six years at Stamford Bridge, Kante was extraordinary in his midfield role, and there was none like him.

France striker Marcus Thuram during a press conference in Paderborn, Germany, has admitted he found it difficult training against Chelsea hero, N’Golo Kante, who’s now 33 years old.

“I have the impression that were three of him at Clairefontaine!” Thuram joked during his press conference on Saturday.

“I have never seen anything like it, it’s horrible, it’s horrible, we can’t play anymore, we can’t play in training anymore.

“As soon as we have him on our team we know we have won.

“But more seriously, N’Golo is incredible and I think that in one week he reminded us why he was one of the best midfielders in the world. I think we are very happy to have him with us.”
