Brentford boss Frank likens Bidstrup to Chelsea midfielder Kante

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has likened youngster Mads Bidstrup to Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.

Bidstrup was given 90 minutes for Brentford's FA Cup win against Port Vale on Sunday.

Frank reflected: "One of Mads Bidstrup's strengths is that he has such a big engine. He reminds me a bit of N'Golo Kanté at Chelsea, and that's a big comparison, of course.

"His ability to push and cover so many yards across the pitch is amazing, and his acceleration when he goes past people is so good.

"He just needs to have some more experience. He was caught a couple of times, but when he carries the ball past players and then passes, he does so well."
