N'Golo Kante says Chelsea are aiming for the top again
He doesn't speak often, but when he does it's worth listening
N'Golo Kante is one of the most humble people in the world of Sport. He goes about his business, and he absolutely loves what he does.
Despite all of his Chelsea team mates driving around in cars worth more than my house, until just last year Kante was driving around in a Mini Cooper. Of course, this is not a car that the average person would turn their noses up to owning, but you'd always expect footballers to have the best of everything.
This just shows the type of character that Kante is. He likes to stay out of the lime light as much as he can, which is why when he does speak publicly, it is usually best to listen to him!
TF1 managed to get some rare words from the Chelsea midfielder during the international break after a France game this week, and it was just absolutely golden what came out of his mouth.
Kante is excited about the current times under Frank Lampard, and he says that with the new signings that have arrived this summer, they are aiming for the top once again.
Kante said: “I think we have signed a fair amount of new players and what we are trying to do is to maintain Chelsea’s standards – win titles, be at the top nationally. We are well placed at the moment, I hope we will continue in this vein.”
My verdict?
It is great to hear Kante speaking this way, especially when he is constantly linked with leaving Chelsea.
But this definitely does not sound like a player who wants to leave the club anytime soon, and he still has a massively important role to play for Lampard in the next few years.
I am pretty sure that if you asked Frank, he would admit that Kante is still the first name he writes on his team sheet when everyone is fit.
