Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has told the BBC that N'Golo Kante is the best midfielder in the world on current form.
Kante, who joined from Leicester for a reported £30 million last summer, scored the only goal in Chelsea's FA Cup victory over Manchester United on Monday in an impressive overall display.
Lampard said there was no better player in the France international's position at present and compared the 25-year-old favourably to his former teammate Claude Makelele, who enjoyed a hugely successful career in a defensive midfield role for Real Madrid, Chelsea and France.
