Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is full of praise for midfielder N'Golo Kante.

The Frenchman has been in and out of the team for the Blues this term due to injury.

But Kane is approaching full fitness and is likely to be more involved in the second half of the season.

Mount enjoys playing with Kante, and said as much to reporters after the team's 1-1 draw with Southampton.

"N'Golo definitely did a lot more running than me today!" Mount joked.

"He doesn't stop running and we know what N'Golo's like, winning every little ball, brilliant to have around the place and obviously it's brilliant to have him back in.

"He's unbelievable to play with. He's a big character within the group, he doesn't say much but what he does physically and the way he goes about himself, he's a massive character so it's obviously brilliant to have him back."
