'He's an extraordinary player' - Kante backed for Ballon d'Or by former Chelsea star Ramires

The former Blues star believes a World Cup-winning member of the club's current squad deserves a standing among the best in the world

N'Golo Kante can become "one of the top three in the world" and a contender for the prestigious Ballon d'Or, claims former Chelsea star Ramires.

A World Cup-winning midfielder can be something of an unsung hero for club and country, with the Frenchman charged with the task of carrying out tasks that do not steal headlines.

His value for Chelsea and France is, however, not lost on those around him, with a two-time Premier League champion considered to be deserving of a standing among the global elite.
