Cesc said that Kante has much more to his game and he is not just a one dimensional player.
“Unfortunately, football nowadays is based on your reputation,” Fabregas told Chelsea’s pre-match programme.

“But because this is now his reputation, people just look into this and they don’t look to see if he does something else. I think we are winners as a group.”
