<\/p>\nAccording to him, this is due to the Frenchman\u2019s continued struggle in his new position under Maurizio Sarri.<\/p>\n
Kante is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the league since his arrival in English football in 2015.<\/p>\n
The France World Cup winner signed a new long-term contract with the club last week.<\/p>\n
However under Sarri, Kante\u2019s position has been changed to accommodate summer signing, Jorginho, and his performance levels have dropped as a result.<\/p>\n
Cascarino is of the view that should Kante\u2019s struggles continue, he could seek to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think Sarri\u2019s comments about Kante being more technical were too much to be concerned about,\u201d he told talkSPORTS.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the bigger issue with Kante is they have given him a new contract because they know so many clubs are sniffing around him, but he\u2019s being played out of position.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou feel he\u2019s wasted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think certainly PSG would be in for him as well as other clubs, and why wouldn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the best at his position in the world, without a doubt, for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why he signed a new deal, but I don\u2019t believe it will be enough to keep him there if Kante plays in that position all season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think by the end of the season he might have had enough, knowing he\u2019s a far better player in the positions he is more accustomed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Sarri hit out at Kante for not performing his role well enough in the 3-1 defeat to Tottenham.<\/p>\n
\u201cKante, in the last match, wanted to solve the match after the first 15 minutes but in the wrong way,\u201d Sarri said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe lost his position. He attacked too much the other box.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think this is not one of the best characteristics of Kante. Maybe it\u2019s only a question of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Kante has to stay near to Jorginho, especially when the ball is on the other side.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
