Speaking in an interview with 101 Great Goals, Gallas said: “Everybody loves N’Golo and it is easy to see why.
“For me, at the moment he is the best player in the world.
“I know people will talk about strikers because fans like to see goals and they appreciate attacking players more.
“But if you look at what N’Golo has done since he arrived in England it is phenomenal.
“He won the league with Leicester, then went to Chelsea and won it there, he has won the Europa League and now the Champions League as well as winning the World Cup with France.
“That is amazing, for me he is the best player in the world.”
Kante made two assists in 32 Premier League appearances for Chelsea FC last season as he helped them to bounce back and secure a top-four finish in the top flight.
He will now be hoping to help Chelsea FC to win the Premier League title under Thomas Tuchel nest season.
