Chelsea's N'Golo Kante plays football 'like a rat' - Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard has hailed N'Golo Kante's impact since arriving at Chelsea in the summer, likening the midfielder's style of play to that of a rat.

Kante, who helped Leicester City to the Premier League title last season, arrived at Stamford Bridge in July for a reported £30 million.

The France international has instantly earned himself a place in Antonio Conte's starting XI, and teammate Hazard has praised him for the impression he has made since joining the Blues.

"He gives us confidence," Hazard told Chelsea's official website. "We want to try to dribble and to pass the opponent because we know even if we try but don't pass the opponent and if we lose the ball then he is there behind us, he can take the ball.
