The France international is being challenged to go from a super-effective specialist to an all-round player who is capable of doing anything
There is a joke that has been doing the rounds in England for some time now, in which it's claimed that while water covers 70 percent of Earth, N'Golo Kante covers the rest.
The dynamic defensive midfielder's response was typically humble. "It's just football, my friends," he wrote on Twitter. "There are more important things than covering the earth."
Nevertheless, for Claudio Ranieri, Antonio Conte and Didier Deschamps, there were few more important players than the diminutive Frenchman in terms of their respective trophy triumphs in recent years.
