Chelsea midfielder Cesc: Kante so much more than his reputation

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas feels N'Golo Kante's overall game is under-rated.

Kante's been tipped to win the PFA Player of there Year award after another stunning season so far, playing a pivotal role in Chelsea's rise to top of the table.

"Unfortunately, football nowadays is based on your reputation," the Spaniard told the club's official website.

"Now N'Golo is becoming famous for chasing around and making tackles that recover the ball and end up in goals, but he does other things very well.

"But because this is now his reputation, people just look into this and they don't look to see if he does something else.

"I think we are winners as a group. We hate losing but every manager is the leader of the team and he is like that too. So it makes us show it in a more positive way."
