William Gallas insists Chelsea star is 'the best player in the world'

William Gallas has named Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante ‘the best player in the world’ as France prepare to get their Euro 2020 campaign underway.

Les Blues, the reigning world champions, are among the favourites to win this summer’s competition and begin their campaign with a huge group clash fixture against Germany on Tuesday.

Kante is coming off the back of a stunning campaign with Chelsea where he played a pivotal role in the club’s Champions League success under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel.

And former Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham defender Gallas believes it is now time for his countryman to be universally recognised as the best on the planet.

‘Everybody loves N’Golo and it is easy to see why.’ Gallas told 101 Great Goals.

‘For me at the moment he is the best player in the world.

‘I know people will talk about strikers because fans like to see goals and they appreciate attacking players more.

‘But if you look at what N’Golo has done since he arrived in England it is phenomenal.

‘He won the league with Leicester, then went to Chelsea and won it there, he has won the Europa League and now the Champions League as well as winning the World Cup with France.

‘That is amazing, for me he is the best player in the world.’
