Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann has paid tribute to France teammate N'Golo Kante.

Griezmann believes the Chelsea midfielder has been critical in their run to the World Cup final.

He said: "Kanté reminds me a bit of Casemiro with Real Madrid and Brazil.

"They do a lot of good for their team, it is they who connect between defence and attack. He has not missed a match since he was in France. It's impressive. He is in the middle of the field, he wins tackles.

"He's really the top player for us. It does us a lot of good."
