The France legend says the energetic midfielder is “fantastic” every time he pulls on his country's colours and believes it is a shame he is only now just coming to light
France great Frank Leboeuf has described N'Golo Kante's remarkable rise to prominence as a “nightmare that has become a fairytale”.
Kante has morphed from a relatively unknown quantity into one of the stars of Leicester City's Premier League triumph and a key cog in Didier Deschamps' France squad.
The 25-year-old, who put in a strong display against Romania in France's Euros opener, is looking to emulate Leboeuf by helping Les Bleus win the European Championships on home soil this summer.
