Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante says he's also a qualified accountant
Kante has taken the Premier League by storm since his move to Leicester two years ago.
He helped the Foxes to the title in the 2015/16 campaign and again with Chelsea last season following his £32million switch.
But the France international admits there’s more to him than controlling Chelsea’s midfield.
Kante is also a qualified accountant, a profession he had as a back-up plan had his career taken a difference path.
"When I was 18, I got my baccalaureate [the French A-Level equivalent] and after that I did two more years of study in accountancy," Kante told Chelsea magazine.
I got my qualification in accountancy

"At this time, I was at Boulogne, in the second team – the sixth, then the fifth division.
"I wasn’t professional, so I kept studying because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make a living as a footballer.
"But when I went up to the first team, I became professional, so I stopped studying.
"I got my qualification in accountancy so there are some things I can understand more easily because of it.
