Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Chelsea star Tony Cascarino has said that the career of Chelsea\u2019s top midfielder, N\u2019Golo Kante, has come to an end.<\/p>\n

According to Cascarino the France international will never regain his best form and is burnt out.<\/p>\n

Kante has been arguably Chelsea\u2019s midfielder since joining the Blues from Leicester in the summer of 2016.<\/p>\n

But the Frenchman has struggled to maintain his fitness over the course of the last 18 months.<\/p>\n

Kante looked a shadow of himself against Real Madrid during their Champions League quarter-final first leg in midweek and substituted at the break as veteran midfielders, such as Tony Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro ran the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate to say this, and I\u2019m not sure but have we seen the end of N\u2019Golo Kante as the greatest, or one of the great midfielders in the last decade?\u201d Cascarino posed on talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do feel like he\u2019s played himself out physically; he looked burned out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have looked at N\u2019Golo 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\u2019m wrong because he\u2019s been a terrific player.\u201d<\/p>\n
