“He can do multiple jobs at the same time. He makes people around him better, he helps everybody," Frank Lampard told BBC about N'Golo Kante during the coverage of the Euro 2020 game between Portugal and France.
“He’s exactly how you’d expect from the outside, nothing’s an act, he’s very humble, very quiet, he doesn’t want loads of conversation.
“The problem I found with him more than anything was trying to hold him back in training because every day you train and you let him off the leash in an opposed session he does that, and you have to try to pull him back because he can just put that output into anything he does.
“He’s incredible, he’s exactly what you see from the outside.”
Kante has been at his best in recent months, having led Chelsea to the Champions League trophy.
His France side have topped Group F at Euro 2020 and can be considered one of the frontrunners for the title, too. They will face Switzerland in the Round of 16.
