    On the 18th May 2012, the day before Chelsea won their first Champions League title, N'golo Kante made his debut for US Boulogne as a 21 year old as the club, based in the North of France, were relegated from Ligue 2.
    From that disappointing start Kante’s rise has been nothing short of miraculous, as he earned a move first to Caen, then Leicester City and finally Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, the Europa League and most recently the Champions League. Not only that but after finally establishing himself at international level with France in 2016, he helped Les Bleus to the Final of the Euros that summer and won his nation’s 2nd ever World Cup two years later.
    For a player deemed not good enough by a host of clubs and Clairefontaine, the French national youth academy, Kante has managed to become one of the defining players of his generation, whilst his shy, humble and lowkey nature, summed up by playing FIFA and watching Match of the Day with complete strangers in Kings Cross in 2018, has won him legions of fans worldwide.
    But who is N’golo Kante and what makes him so special? Today on FD Explains we aim to find out…

    I couldn’t care less if Kanté wins a Ballon D’or or not. A Ballon d’or is nothing compared to the love Kanté gets from fans all around the world. Even the fiercest of rival fans have nothing but love for him. And imo that matters the most.

    Imagine how many potentially world class players are being overlooked all over the world because they don't stand out like a Messi or a Ronaldo but just quietly get the work do and have incredible underlying and understated stats. FIFA needs to get proper leagues set up around the world or at the very least some good youth development centres. The future of football is something I can't wait to see. Cazorla thinks dribbling has been replaced with pace but I don't think so. The footballing world simply doesn't have its eyes wide open enough.

    Ok so there is a Kanté love fest in full swing, following his highly influential contribution to Chelsea's CL victory, but can anyone show me, just for the sake of information, whether his stats are the best in the PL or throughout Europe, which might persuade me that the hype is justified? He is a great player, no doubt, who has had a meteoric rise to stardom from just five or six years ago, but we are talking Ballon D'Or here.
