Chelsea's brilliant diminutive midfielder N'Golo Kante, who was officially shortlisted for the Premier League PFA Player of the Year, has many strings to his bow, but Blues hero Didier Drogba has revealed his most cheekiest trick.
The Frenchman has produced heroics in the middle of the park, and is widely tipped to be named the Player of the Year.
After securing a Premier League medal with Leicester City last season, he's on course to bag another in back-to-back campaigns.

Kante has been garnering plenty of praise from his teammates, as well as past greats including Drogba who has suggested his beaming smile keeps him away from trouble.
"It's amazing to see him play. He reminds me of (former Chelsea midfielder Claude) Makelele." Drogba told the Daily Mirror.
"You look at him and it's like he hasn't run at all during the game because he's never tired."
"When he makes fouls, he smiles at you and you can't even give him a yellow card. He's really smart."

Didier Drogba lands his next venture.
Following the Ivorian parting company with Montreal Impact after the 2016 season, he's been linked with a host of clubs in Europe, and beyond.
He was briefly linked with a return to Marseille in Ligue One yet fans made it clear that they did not want him to back at the club.
And after initial reports linking him with a move to Phoenix Rising, Drogba himself has confirmed the move by posting on his social media.
As well as turning out for the American outfit, he'll also be co-owner of the side while harboring ambitions of eventually taking them to the Major League Soccer.

The Arizona-based club play in the United Soccer League, which is below the MLS in the football pyramid in the USA and Canada.
The team were known as Arizona United for a few years before re-branding as Phoenix Rising in November 2014.

They've also recently unveiled a new stadium that is set to host it's first game on 25th March against Toronto FC's second team.
The signing of Drogba is undoubtedly be a massive coup as the 39-year old is a massive marketable attraction and would surely still have it in him to make a real impact in the lower echelons of football/soccer in the US.
Drogba is set to link up with former Chelsea teammate Shaun Wright-Phillips, whom he played with three years between 2005 and 2008.
Another ex Chelsea boy in Joe Cole, is also playing in the league with Eastern Conference side Tampa Bay Rowdies.
