N’Golo Kante has described his season at Leicester City as “magnificent.”

While his former team-mate Riyad Mahrez has riled fans for saying he “lost two years” of his career at the club, Kante did not have a bad word to say about City.

Kante only spent one season at the King Power Stadium, helping the club win the Premier League title before moving to Chelsea for £32m.

City had beaten Marseille to Kante’s signature in 2015, the defensive midfielder arriving from Caen for £5.6m.

Speaking to Telefoot about the possibility of moving to Marseille, Kante said: “The year in Leicester was magnificent and I did not regret it at all.”

Since leaving City, Kante has continued to collect silverware, winning another Premier League title, the FA Cup, and the Europa League, as well as the World Cup with France.

Despite the inexperience of manager Frank Lampard and their summer transfer embargo, Chelsea sit third in the table, level on points with City, and Kante rejected the notion that the Blues were any less ambitious than the side he joined in 2016.

“Of course not,” he said. “When I came to Chelsea I was in Leicester and I had just won my first title with a club. Now at Chelsea, I’ve had three great years winning titles, I think it is a club that helped me a lot and I hope it will allow me to win a lot more titles.

“Of course (I could finish my playing career at Chelsea). I'm with Chelsea until 2023, so, in my head, here I am, I hope to continue having beautiful seasons at Chelsea until 2023.”
