    Only you're not (as per ;) )

    Steve Walsh, the club’s joint assistant manager and head of recruitment, was busy chasing another target that was far from straightforward but would turn into one of the best Premier League signings of the summer.
    N’Golo Kanté was the player’s name, and Ranieri – as he would later admit – did not know much about him. Ranieri was far from alone in that respect – plenty of other Premier League managers have since questioned how he slipped under their radar – but Walsh and his recruitment team had done their homework. David Mills, Leicester’s senior scouting coordinator, had been to see Kanté play for Caen, and clips and statistics were put together to highlight the midfielder’s talent.
    Ranieri, however, still needed convincing about the player’s physique. A few months down the line, on the back of some superb performances from the Frenchman, Ranieri recalled how Walsh would constantly badger him during pre-season, saying: “Kanté, Kanté, Kanté!” In the end Ranieri was won over, Leicester handed over £5.6m and the rest is history.

    Just accept the fact that you've been proved wrong by me again mate, you should be used to it by now ;)

    Each morning at Leicester City’s Belvoir Drive training ground last summer, Steve Walsh would perform what became a ritual.
    When trying to persuade manager Claudio Ranieri to sign Caen midfielder N’Golo Kante, the head of recruitment was politely persistent.
    As they passed in the corridor, Walsh would whisper in the Italian’s ear: “Kante, Kante.”
    Eventually, Ranieri agreed and in early August, Leicester had agreed a £5.6m deal for the 24-year-old.
    Fast-forward nine months and it proved to be an absolute steal as Kante anchored City’s midfield in their remarkable Premier League title triumph.
    But that Kante was one of several key signings in the Foxes’ team, who were identified at knock-down prices by Walsh, is the reason why he became a man in demand.

    You sure it was "Kante" he was whispering in Ranieri's ear?
