Honestly speaking, Kante is a player that every manager would love to have around because of his talent, dedication and commitment to the game of football. Most times I wonder if he is a human being, because he looks as though he doesn't get tired. He can run from his goal post to the other goal post to attack and from the other goal post to his goal post to defend. I love Kante I don't know about you.
Thanks for your time.
