Ismaila Soro hails agent as Celtic star loves his N'Golo Kante 'twin' highlight reel

He might not be in the starting XI at present but it's rare to see Ismaila Soro without a big smile on his face.

The all-action midfielder might be playing second fiddle to skipper Scott Brown during his Celtic swansong but the 22-year-old has offered plenty of encouragement that he could be an important player.

Soro was excellent in the run of fixtures over Christmas and New Year but has struggled for regular game time in recent weeks.

The former Bnei Yehuda star is keen in the tackle and tigerish in closing down the opposition and has drawn comparisons with other players who fill a similar role.

The ultimate compliment for any defensive midfielder in the current era is being compared to Chelsea's N'Golo Kante and Soro's agent isn't shy in talking up his key man.

The representative in question is none other than Dudu Dahan - a man who has worked a number of deals with the Parkhead side over the past decade including Nir Bitton, Efe Ambrose and Hatem Elhamed.

Soro was loving the comparison with his Chelsea 'twin' and responded to the post sent out through Dahan's Scout Push Instagram account.

He responded with an emoji-filled reply as others commenting made reference to similarities between the Celtic man and the French World Cup winner.
