N'Golo Kanté says he is pleasantly surprised by the level of the Saudi Pro League. He believes that the top 5 matches are equivalent to Ligue 1 level. (www.lequipe.fr)

How could he know? Last time he played in Ligue 1 was almost 10 years ago.

Anyway I don't wanna any player who play in this league in our NT. He is 32 years old it's time to move on.

he’s only 32 !? i thought he was around 35

I think at least give him till the euros before giving him the shove. Similar to Henderson, playing in Saudi league is a massive downgrade but their skills don't dissappear overnight. It's not like they are 38 or something. Perhaps someone in the locker room with veteran presence coming off the bench.

One of the best midfielders of his generation probably knows a thing or two about football you'd think especially having played in the league.

Surely, Deschamps is taking notes.

Being a great footballer doesn't always translate to giving sensible opinions on football. We've seen this time and time again

Oh, I guess he's able to make a precise ranking of all leagues in the planet, then.

Even those he didn't play in in the last 10 years.

K how would you know anything close to the quality of either league then if the criteria is how recently you played in the league?

You seem to be under a mistaken impression that you get a say in who gets select into the NT. Such an unfortunate misconception to have.
