Drinkwater scores impressive goal during Chelsea training
Kante arrived at Chelsea for £32million a year ago after he starred alongside Drinwkater to help Leicester to the 2015/16 Premier League title.
Drinkwater followed the Frenchman to Stamford Bridge last month in a £35m deal, but the England international is yet to play due to injury.
And after the pair’s success at Leicester, Kante is looking forward to winning even more silverware with Drinkwater at Chelsea.
Kante won a second successive Premier League crown under Antonio Conte last season, with the Blues competing in four competitions this term.

“I really enjoyed the season that I spent with him and I am happy that he chose to join Chelsea and I am happy to play with him again.”
Conte arrived at Chelsea on deadline day having failed to play in Leicester’s opening three games due to a thigh injury.
He made Chelsea’s bench in the 2-1 win over his former club on Saturday but was ruled out of Tuesday’s 6-0 Champions League win over Qarabag with a calf problem.
