William Gallas believes not a lot separates N’Golo Kante from former Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele and it is only a matter of time before he reaches his level.
Gallas was a team-mate of Makelele’s during Jose Mourinho’s first spell in charge when the midfielder was crucial to successive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006, with his performances making him a favourite of the Stamford Bridge faithful.
Similarly, Kante’s hard work in the middle has not gone unnoticed by the Stamford Bridge faithful following his £30million arrival in 2016 and he was also crowned Player of the Year by the Football Writers Association.
