Arsenal legend, Martin Keown, called N’Golo Kante as Chelsea’s most important player ahead of the 2020-2021 season’s FA Cup and Champions League final. Keown even called Kante a winner.
Kante is one of the best defensive midfielders in English football. Kante started his brilliant career in England with Leicester City in the 2015-2016 season.
As a new player at that time, Kante could lead Leicester to create miracles by winning the Premier League. In the summer of 2016, Kante moved to Chelsea for a fee of 32 million euros.
Together with Chelsea, Kante won the English League trophy (2016-2017), the FA Cup (2017-2018), and the European League (2018-2019). In addition, Kante also won the 2018 World Cup trophy with the French National Team.
Kante has always been an important part of Chelsea’s midfield since his arrival. Chelsea’s success in reaching the FA Cup and Champions League final this season is also thanks to Kante’s neat performances.
Therefore, Keown believes Kante will play a key role for Chelsea in the two finals they will live in. Closest, Chelsea will play Leicester City in the FA Cup final which takes place at Wembley Stadium, today, Saturday (15/5/2021)
Meanwhile, Chelsea will take on Manchester City in the Champions League final. The grand match will take place at the Do Dragao Stadium, Porto, Portugal, Sunday 30 May 2021.
“Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea Coach) knows how important NGolo Kante is. The twin-engined midfielder loves big games. He is the man of the match in the two legs of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, “said Keown, quoted from Football365, Saturday (15/5/2021).
“Kante is a winner. “He won trophies for Leicester, Chelsea and the World Cup with France,” said the Englishman.
“Tuchel rested Kante for the middle of the week. However, he wants Kante to come back and work hard for the FA Cup final on Saturday. Then, definitely for the Champions League final in the next two weeks, “he said.
