‘I hate to say this, but he looks finished & burned out’ – Cascarino reveals why £290K a-week Chelsea player career has ended
According to latest reports, Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has claimed that Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante is no longer the player he was.
Cascarino believes we are experiencing the end of the world-class Kante we’ve become accustomed to, and the Frenchman seems burned out from the football he has played over the years.
Tony Cascarino said on talkSPORT: “I hate to say this, and I’m not sure but have we seen the end of N’Golo Kante as the greatest, or one of the great midfielders in the last decade?”
“I do feel like he’s played himself out physically; he looked burned out.
“In midweek he was up against a 37-year-old in Modric, Kroos and Casemiro, not all as mobile as him and yet I thought he struggled.
“I have looked at N’Golo in the last three months and thought, have we seen the best of him? Is he starting to go on the wane? I hope I’m wrong because he’s been a terrific player.”
