Three reasons why N’Golo Kante will make Chelsea better this season

Enthusiasm

We often seem to forget that football is a job for footballers, and even if you’re obscenely well paid to do the best job in the world, you’re still going to have the odd day where you just want to sit in bed and watch Netflix and eat chocolate. There are plenty of footballers who look like they want to do just that when they’re trotting around on the pitch.
