Kante spent his childhood playing football and picking up trash which he sold for a little money. After France’s glory in the 1998 World Cup, young Kante immediately realized that he could have a shot at becoming a footballer and that’s what got him off to a good start with the help of his parents.

Kante grew up alongside his three siblings, two brothers and a sister, who still have the same private and modest life as the football star.
