Tottenham and France captain Hugo Lloris is happy seeing Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante gaining media recognition.

Kante is being celebrated ahead of the Euros after his performance in Chelsea's Champions League final triumph against Manchester City.

Lloris said at a France team presser: "In squad life, he is true to himself, he has his personality, he is really appreciated by everyone.

"As a player, his professionalism, his qualities, his talent as a recoverer ... he is capable of doing everything, of adapting to the coach's instructions in relation to the needs of the team.

"He can evolve in different functions in the midfield. He is a driving force within the team. Mediatically, we are more focused on other players. In modern football, we often put forward attacking players, but a player like NG has a very important place in the France team."
