Former Liverpool Man Agrees With Chelsea Star About Teammate

Jamie Redknapp singles out Chelsea talented midfielder N'Golo Kante for special praise


Former Liverpool star player Jamie Redknapp has supported Eden Hazard’s claim that playing with Chelsea talented midfielder N’Golo Kante is like playing with twins.

Kante has been a key cog in Antonio Conte’s team this season so far as Chelsea moved 10 points clear of second-placed Tottenham in the title race.

Chelsea signed the France international in a 34 million deal from reigning Premier League champions Leicester City in last summer’s transfer window following the appointment of Italian boss Antonio Conte as their new manager.

Kante has established an impressive partnership with Nemanja Matic in the heart of the blues side, although former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has usurped the Serbian in recent weeks.

The French defensive midfielder was widely hailed for his outstanding performance in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory against West Ham United at the London Stadium on Monday night.

And Redknapp writing in his Daily Mail column about Kante’s performance, was in agreement with Eden Hazard on his assessment of the midfielder following a superb first season at the Stamford Bridge club.

N'Golo Kante helped Leicester City to win the Premier League title last term.
