  /  autty

N'Golo Kante is one of the most popular players in football, with the midfielder often being praised for being hugely effective on the pitch and humble off it.

On Friday Kante celebrated his 28th birthday and fans took the opportunity to show their admiration for the Frenchman.

Kante is adored by Chelsea fans and has won the Premier League and the FA Cup since joining the club.

One supporter wrote: 'Today was supposed to be Brexit, but nglkante intercepted it. Happy birthday'.

Another wrote: 'Never seen a man so humble. Happy birthday NGOLO KANTE'.

Meanwhile another fan stressed that Kante is Chelsea's most important player rather than Eden Hazard.

They wrote: 'Everyone says where will we be without hazard but where would we be without kante'.

Furthermore, another simply wrote: 'My midfielder. Best in the world.'

Chelsea face Cardiff away on Sunday and Kante will hope that his side can secure all three points for what would be a perfect belated birthday present.

Kante has made 43 appearances for Chelsea this season, but in the vast majority of those games he has been used in a more advanced position than he had been previously.

Last year Kante was part of the France squad that won the World Cup and he remains an important player for Didier Deschamps' team.
