The former Chelsea defender-turned-pundit Wayne Bridge has described Kante as in qualities of Makalele.
The 26 years old signed for the Blues from Leicester off the back of winning the Premier League title at the King Power Stadium in the summer of 2016.
The Blues currently sit third and three points behind Manchester United and Manchester City in the table.
Bridge won all the domestic honours at Chelsea including back-to-back titles, has heaped special praise on the France international by insisting that he reminds him of former Blues team-mate Makelele.
“Kante is just like having another Makélélé back,” Bridge told The Sun at a PokerStars event in Dublin.
“He won player of the year and has made a massive difference in terms of a defensive midfielder, the way he gets around the pitch tackling.
"They had Matic who could sit a little bit for them but Kante is a totally different player.
“He reminds me of Makélélé so much when we did so well with him at Chelsea.
“He’s great for the team and he’s one of my favourite Chelsea players at the moment.”
