England international Reece James has hailed former teammate N’Golo Kante as the Frenchman departs for Saudi Arabia.
James believes that Kante is the nicest guy in the game of football.
The England full-back said this in his reaction to Kante’s exit from Chelsea, as the 2018 World Cup winner completes his move from the west London outfit to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.
Kante left the Blues as a free agent after an illustrious seven-year spell with the club.
He had an injury-plagued 2022-23 season, making just nine appearances across competitions after suffering a hamstring injury in the second game week of the season.
He signed a four-year contract worth €100 million in total with the Saudi Arabian club.
“Nicest guy in football. such a pleasure to share a dressing room and play alongside you. Good Luck brother, you’ll be missed,” James wrote on Instagram.
