Despite his riches, Kante still visits local mosques for prayers and still hangs out with fans - as well as show up at a supporter's wedding.

The 30-year-old former Leicester City star has also taken his humility level into his finances and despite huge weekly wage, he only drives his mini-cooper around.

After signing a new Chelsea contract in November 2018, he is thought to have doubled his pre-tax wages from £150,000-a-week to £300,000-a-week.

The Blues also paid out handsomely after Kante helped Antonio Conte's side win the 2016/17 Premier League title.
