He already sent supporters wild with his stunning debut goal
The ace, who was part of Leicester City’s legendary title-winning side in 2016, helped Chelsea win six trophies during that period, including the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League.
However, injuries hindered Kante in his final few years in West London and that led to owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake opting to cash in this summer.
He moved to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad – but supporters were soon begging him to return after he scored a screamer on his debut.
Now Kante has done it again by producing another magical finish in the opening match of the Club World Cup.
Al-Ittihad were already leading Auckland City thanks to Romarinho when the much-loved Kante almost burst the net with a brilliant half-volley from the edge of the area.
Auckland City had failed to properly clear a corner as the ball was swung back in, and it fell perfectly for the ex-Blues man to rifle home.
The clip soon began to go viral, and Chelsea supporters were quick to react to the goal on social media.
“Chelsea board did the fans dirty by selling this guy,” declared one.
A second one said: “Now Kante looks fit i think Chelsea should bring him back.”
Another commented: “The man is too humble he looks like he was embarrassed he scored.”
While a fourth added: “Miss this guy sooo much.”
