It's been three years since Chelsea signed N'Golo Kante from Leicester City, and it's be fair to say that the move has gone fairly well for both the Blues and the Frenchman. Kante's won another Premier League title, pocketed the FA Cup and lifted the Europa League trophy since making the move to Stamford Bridge.
Not to mention the small matter of Chelsea's number seven playing a pivotal role in France's World Cup winning squad in 2018 - 'allez les bleus' indeed.
Surprisingly, for a club like Chelsea, with a history of splashing the cash on blockbuster signings, Kante
This is a fairly unique situation for Chelsea, even with the likes of Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois donning the blue shirt in recent times, their talent was always bought into question by opposing fans. Somehow, Kante has managed to ascend above these club rivalries and is seemingly admired by anyone with a love for the beautiful game.
Kante's price tag must surely be considered the best bargain of the Premier League era. If not for his tireless workrate and defensive capabilities, then for his no-nonsense attitude that will surely see him go down as a Chelsea great.
As only the ninth player to win the Premier League with two clubs, Kante has the very real potential as going down as one of the greats, this certainly isn't harmed by his international successes either.
Most importantly however, Kante's position as a defensive midfielder is one that is often held by older players and thankfully for Kante being at the age of just 28, he's got many more years of playing to come.
