'He never runs out of battery': Azpilicueta showers praise on 'special' Kante

Cesar Azpilicueta had a lot of praise for N'Golo Kante, with the Frenchman clearly having the respect of everyone with the locker-room.

The captain told the club's official website: "He is a very special person, very humble on and off the pitch.

"He covers a lot of ground, recovers the ball a lot and never runs out of battery."

Kante was simply incredible to end the season for Chelsea, claiming Man of the Match honours in the semis as well as the final of the Champions League.

The two could potentially face each other in the Euros with both France and Spain expected to make deep tournament runs.
