Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet has declared N'Golo Kante as the best in the world.
Poyet says it's no surprise Chelsea defeated Manchester United last week with Kante back in the XI.
“They missed him a lot, you could see how much the minute he came back," Poyet told the London Evening Standard. “He's easily the best central midfielder in the world. Easily. He would play in a World XI, no doubt. I know there are players like Casemiro, Sergio Busquets but he's better than them.
“He knows the game, when to stay, when to run and how to run well. He reads it so well he knows what is going to happen before he gets there. That way he controls it with his incredible power and finesse. Normally players like that aren't as good on the ball as Kante is.
“It's incredible that he went to Leicester and nobody saw him until they won the league! You do what you do, managers do what they do but how didn't any scouts see him?"
