Stoke City boss Mark Hughes says Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is on his way to being the best in the world.
Stoke meet Chelsea this weekend.
"It's a big shout, but you'd have to say if he gets back-to-back Premier League titles and he's been a huge part of each one in two campaigns, he's certainly up there in terms of effectiveness," said Hughes.
"That's what's been said â who's the most effective midfield player in the world and you'd have to say it's him.
"Best is a relative term â it's how you define best, but he's certainly the most effective."
