Chelsea's N'Golo Kante hangs out with fans after missing his train to Paris

What's the story?

According to reports from BBC Football, Chelsea starlet and World Cup Winner N'Golo Kante spent around two hours with few of his fans at a fan's house, eating chicken curry, playing FIFA and also watching the Premier League Match of the Day (MOTD) Program.

It was a very humble gesture by one of the London-based club's star players. A Chelsea FC Spokesperson later confirmed this news by simply adding, "That's typical N'Golo."

In case you didn't know...

The French midfielder was on his way to Paris which happens to be his hometown, after Chelsea's 4-1 victory over Cardiff City in Premier League on Saturday. But he missed his Eurostar train at the St. Pancras station.

He then went to a nearby local Mosque for his regular prayers, and that's when Badlur Jalil, a fan, gathered courage to speak to him and invite him over to his house for some snacks. The Frenchman obliged and agreed to join him.

was all smiles to pose with his fans

The heart of the matter

Kante was on a protein diet and so the fan, accompanied by his brother, decided to make chicken curry for him as the trio were joined by some of Badlur Jalil's friends too. Kante also had a cup of tea after his meal.

Then, he also played FIFA with them and defeated them. Post the snacks and FIFA, the group of fans, accompanied by Kante, watched Premier League Match of the Day (MOTD) program which featured the Frenchman too. Before leaving, he also posed for pictures with the fans.

It all started with Kanté missing his Eurostar to Paris, then Googling local mosque, next thing you know man's chomping on rice and curry in next mans yard, playing FIFA and watching himself on MOTD 🤣

Brilliant, although I’m surprised he didn’t sprint ahead and intercept the train. https://t.co/uVpSJkfFVl

What's next?

N'Golo Kante and co. play on 20th September in the Europa League when Chelsea go head to head against PAOK FC in Greece. The Londoners would be looking to start their campaign on a winning note away from home, after they won the competition in 2013 when they last played in the competition.
