Chelsea boss Conte admits Kante plays just like he used to!

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admits he sees a lot of himself in new signing N'Golo Kante.

Conte admitted one of the reasons why he wanted to bring him to Stamford Bridge is because Kante reminded him of how he used to play.

“In my career I had great stamina, was a great runner," he said. "Also I scored some goals. I hope N'Golo can improve in this situation.

"Maybe we are similar, but I know N'Golo can become a fantastic midfielder and he can improve a lot."
