Kante is a warrior but no boss at heart - Leboeuf

The former France and Chelsea player admits he is an integral part of Antonio Conte's side, but says he lacks real leadership qualities

Chelsea star N'Golo Kante has been criticised by Frank Leboeuf, who feels the midfielder is "timid" and lacks leadership skills.

Kante has only started one of France's World Cup qualifiers in this campaign despite his stunning form for Chelsea, which has led to him becoming the hot favourite to be named PFA Player of the Year.

The 25-year-old is closing in on winning back-to-back Premier League titles having helped Leicester City to glory last season.
