Arsene Wenger believes that Chelsea are making a mistake with N'Golo Kante.

Since the arrival of Maurizio Sarri in the summer, Kante has played further forward in midfield.

Sarri prefers to use Jorginho in the holding role, due to his passing ability. But Wenger does not agree with that decision.

Speaking about Kante at the Laureus Awards on Monday night, Wenger said: "Phenomenal.

"To have a successful team you need to have somebody, or some players, who sacrifice themselves for the team. Don't talk, do it.

"When you lose the ball in front of you, he just works for you to win it back and he gives it back in the proper way.

"People who have maybe a smaller ego, but a bigger spirit of sacrifice, usually they make the difference.

"We spoke about Brazil, in Brazil they had a player that I bought, Gilberto Silva, who had a similar role in 2002 in the success of the Brazilian national team in Japan."
