PARIS (Reuters) - Blue is definitely the colour for the discreet N'Golo Kante, now shining for France on the pitches of Euro 2016 after playing a key role in Leicester City's fairytale run to the Premier League title in England.

The pocket-sized midfielder played his first game for France only three months ago, as a substitute in a 3-2 win over the Netherlands. A few days later, he started a game against Russia, celebrating his 25th birthday with a goal in a 4-2 victory.
