Paul Scholes is a huge fan of N’Golo Kante

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Chelsea star N’Golo Kante is the ‘perfect’ midfielder – because he can do everything.

The Frenchman was crowned PFA Player of the Year last season after helping Chelsea to the Premier League title in May.

It was Kante’s second successive league title after a miraculous season with Leicester City in 2015/16 and the midfielder is now a regular in France’s midfield.

Scholes believes the modern day midfielder has have more to his game than in previous years and he says Kante is ‘perfect’ for the Premier League.

‘The perfect midfielder in the Premier League today is more the style of N’Golo Kante,’ said Scholes.



‘For me, he can do anything — defend, attacking, dictating the tempo, scoring goals, he can bring the game forward.’

Kante is a certainty to start in Chelsea’s clash with Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.

The Blues are set to be without Alvaro Morata after the Spaniard picked up his fifth yellow card over the season for celebrating a goal against Bournemouth in the League Cup on Wednesday.
