France boss Didier Deschamps has hailed Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante for his influence since making his international bow.
The 25-year-old, who starred during Leicester's 2015-16 Premier League triumph, only made his international debut in March, but is expected to be a key player for France at Euro 2016.
After helping France beat Scotland 3-0 on Saturday night, Deschamps paid tribute to the energetic midfielder.
"Everything looks simple and easy with [Kante]. And I know that it is not always easy, I have played sometimes at the same position," Deschamps told reporters. "Sometimes, it is difficult. But N'Golo Kante knows what he has to do and he does it well, very well, for the team.
"He can relaunch the game. I am happy for him. He is a discreet man, he is quiet but he is here. And he always smiles. He has arrived [in the squad] not long ago. In March, he showed already many qualities. I am not anxious. He has a fluent game. Everything he does is fluent."
Kante is reportedly desperate to join Paris Saint-Germain in this summer's transfer window.
