Former Chelsea star, Frank Lampard, has hailed N’Golo Kante as the best midfielder in the world at the moment.
Kante scored the only goal, as the Blues defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final tie played at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
The 25-year-old arrived from Leicester City last summer for £30million.
Speaking on the BBC after the game, Lampard said: “I’d go as far to say that he’s the best central midfield player in the world on current form, I really would.
“Looking at the way he’s performing this year, he may not be scoring lots of goals but what he’s giving to the team in the way he’s playing, the driving force that he is.
“I cannot see anyone else out there in world football better than him at the moment.”
