Robert Huth: N’Golo Kante is the reason why it has gone wrong this year

The defender also noted how much the Foxes have been missing last season’s star man N'Golo Kante.

France international Kante moved to Chelsea in the summer for £30million after he lifted the Premier League trophy with Leicester.

Huth was forced to admit that Kante is one of the main reason’s Leicester have failed to live up to last season's high standards.

In an honest assessment on Football Focus, the 32-year-old insisted the reason the Foxes currently sit in 16th in the Premier League is their own fault.

He said: “You can see what he is doing at Chelsea, he is an unbelievable player.

“We miss him, absolutely, there is no two ways about it he was awesome for us when he was here.”

Kante has continued his phenomenal form this season whilst playing under Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Huth admits Leicester have simply not been good enough.

He said: “In quite a few games we have deserved to lose. It was more of a case ‘we were rubbish today’.
