These Pictures Of N’Golo Kante Riding A Mountain Bike Are Guaranteed To Make You Smile

N'Golo Kante is the gift that keeps on giving.

The 27-year-old has not only proven to be one of the most consistent performers in world football, but his enthusiasm and kind nature off the pitch has captured the hearts of millions.

I mean, the fact that he had to be persuaded not to run to training before teammates eventually persuaded him to buy a car, is just one of many reasons to admire the midfielder.

In recent hours, Kante has once again put on a smile on everybody's face after pictures emerged of him riding a mountain bike.

Accompanied by his France teammates ahead of the World Cup next month, the midfielder couldn't have looked happier in one of the best pictures you'll see this year.

He genuinely looks like a child on Christmas Day after he got his first mountain bike.

It might just be the happiest image on the internet right now and the reaction says it all.

Here are some of the best:

Never change, N'Golo.
