Cascarino says the career of this Chelsea midfielder has ended

Former football star Tony Cascarino said the career of Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante is over.

Cascarino in a statement said the France midfielder will never regain his best form and is burnt out.

Recall that Kante grew to become one of the best Chelsea’s midfielder since joining them from Leicester in the summer of 2016.

However, the Frenchman has struggled to maintain his fitness over the course of the last 18 months.

Kante was not impressive against Real Madrid in their Uefa Champions League quarter-final first leg in midweek and was substituted at the break as veteran midfielders, such as Tony Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro ran the show.

“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?” Cascarino posed on talkSPORT.

“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.”
