Kante’s not all he’s cracked up to be - Barton
The Burnley man has said that pundits are too willing to talk up the performances of the France international and compared him to Dimitri Payet
Joey Barton has hit out at pundits for suggesting that Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante is one of the outstanding midfielders in the world game.
The Burnley midfielder believes that the France international is simply in “fashion” at the moment and is being carried by those around him.
He has criticised the media’s attitude towards players and says that in the UK, pundits are not open enough to changing their minds.
