Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny feels that Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante must be classed as one of the signings of the season in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old midfielder has helped to power Leicester's Premier League title push this season, proving to be a revelation for the Foxes, who snapped him up from French outfit Caen last summer.




Kante is now being tipped to play a key role for France at this summer's European Championship on home turf and Koscielny is one of many impressed by the 24-year-old.

The Arsenal defender told Telefoot: "Kante is one of the recruits of the Premier League season."
 


Leicester won yesterday, edging out Norwich City 1-0 at home, to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur can close the gap with wins today, however the Foxes will still top the table at the end of the weekend.

Kante clocked up 70 minutes in the fixture at the King Power Stadium as Leicester bounced back from a heartbreaking late defeat to Arsenal last time out.
