N'GOLO KANTE is Chelsea's best ever midfielder along with Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele, according to Joe Cole.
Kante, 30, and his Blues' teammates were crowned
Club World Cup champions on Saturday night.
And Cole recently spoke to Chelsea's official site
about the phenom.
The ex-England international said:
"I think N'Golo
now stands shoulder to shoulder with any of the
great midfielders at this club.
"You can put him next to Frank Lampard, you can
put him next to Claude Makelele.
"If he goes on a few more years and achieves
more, maybe he surpasses them."
The French midfield engine joined the West London club in 2016, after being part of the remarkable Leicester City Premier League title win . Kante has gone on to play 241 times for Chelsea t date.
He has won almost every trophy available with the team including the Champions League, Club World Cup and Premier League.
The new world champions face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on February 27 at Wembley. And Cole reckons it's no coincidence that the Blues have won so much with Kante in the centre of the line up.
He said: "In terms of influence on the pitch, I don't think there is a more influential midfielder in world football. "When he doesn't play it hurts us Chelsea so much.
