Joe Cole claims Chelsea star could surpass Frank Lampard's legacy

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has suggested that N’Golo Kante could even surpass Frank Lampard’s legacy, depending on if he wins any more trophies in the next few years. Lampard is the all-time record goalscorer that was a serial winner during his playing days at Stamford Bridge. He won three Premier League titles and the Champions League once to go along with numerous other successes. While Kante has won the Premier League and Champions League in a Chelsea shirt, being beloved by the fanbase.

“Yes I do,” Cole responded when asked if he thinks Kante is the best midfielder in the world.   “Also, I think N’Golo now stands shoulder to shoulder with any of the great midfielders at this club. You can put him next to Frank [Lampard], you can put him next to [Claude] Makelele. If he goes on a few more years and achieves more, maybe he surpasses them.   “In terms of influence on the pitch, I don’t think there is a more influential midfielder in world football. When he doesn’t play it hurts us so much… He’s the only player in the squad you take him out it’s hard to replace him.”
