Chelsea midfielder Kante: Winning trophies with teammates my favourite thing

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante admits winning trophies with his teammates is what he values most as a footballer.

While the French midfielder has received several individual accolades including the Footballer of the Year award in 2016/17, it is the team prizes he treasures most.

"My favourite thing is when we lift a trophy," he told the New York Times. "Afterward, we can have a picture of us lifting a trophy. And that picture shows a lot of work, a lot of difficulty and a lot of sacrifice together.

"That is what it takes, to lift a trophy. From one picture, I can have many memories.

"The biggest satisfaction of all is to win."
