Chelsea defender David Luiz has hailed the impact of N'Golo Kante this season.

Kante and Luiz both signed for Chelsea in the summer from Leicester and Paris St-Germain respectively.

“N'Golo Kante's history is amazing, as is his play," he told the Chelsea website.

“I love him and I think everyone has already seen that I have a good relationship with him.

“He was playing in lower divisions and was getting better and better and now he is one of the best midfielders in the world.

“For Leicester he was one of the keys for the title, and I hope he can be one of the keys for the title this season too!'
