Paul Pogba has heaped praise on N'Golo Kante, insisting that the Chelsea FC midfielder is deserving of the Ballon d'Or.
Kante has received a lot of praise for his recent performances for the southwest London club, as he helped the Blues win the Champions League and finish fourth in the Premier League table.
The 30-year-old was an important part of Chelsea FC's success this season, appearing in 49 games across all competitions.
Kante received special praise for his outstanding performance in Chelsea FC's 1-0 Champions League final victory over Manchester City last month.
Pogba has played alongside Kante at the international level for several years, and the Manchester United midfielder believes the France international would be a worthy winner of the Ballon d'Or following his recent stellar performances.
Pogba stated in an interview with Metro, "What I would like to say to the whole world is that the NG we have seen in recent months has always been the same."
“We talk about his performances a lot, but he's always been as good as ever.“Without Cristiano and Messi in the semi-final, it's interesting to see the performances of the midfielders and even the defenders.
“I said a long time ago that if Chelsea won, it would be appropriate for him to win the Ballon d'Or. It would also be well-deserved.”
Chelsea FC finished fourth in the Premier League table for the second season in a row after bringing in Thomas Tuchel in January to replace Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge.
