NGolo Kante will not commit his long-term future to Leicester City but is focused on bringing the Premier League title to the King Power Stadium. The French midfielder has been one of the best players in the Premier League since he moved to England from Caen last summer.His impressive performances have helped propel Leicester to the top of the Premier League - the Foxes are five points clear of second placed Tottenham with seven games remaining. However, it has also led to reports of a big-money move and Kante has been linked to clubs such as Juventus, Chelsea and Arsenal.When asked if he would be at Leicester next season, Kante told Sky Sports News HQ: I will fight for Leicester this season and next season we never know and we will see.At this moment I am focused on Leicester. We have to finish well this season but I dont mind about the other clubs.Kante took only eight minutes to score his first international goal on his first start for France on Tuesday night. Kante celebrates scoring the opening goal for France on his 25th birthday as they defeated Russia 4-2 Many French commentators made him the man of the match as France beat Russia 4-2 at the Stade de France.Three years ago he was playing in the French third division but this week he celebrated his 25th birthday in style by opening the scoring in Paris.Kante added: It was a good present for my birthday. [it was my] first time in the starting line-up and first goal. It was a good win and we are happy.Kante almost joined Marseille last summer before a tour of Leicesters ground and facilities convinced him to sign a four-year deal at the King Power Stadium. Kante joined Leicester for £5.6m from Ligue 1 side Caen last summer Since his £5.6m transfer, he has become an integral part of a team who have surprised everyone - Kante included - by establishing a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.It is unbelievable because we werent thinking about this at the start of the season, he added. All things are good and we are happy.With only seven games to go until the end of the season, Leicester are closing in on becoming the most unexpected English champions since Nottingham Forest in 1978.All that stands between them and greatness is games against Southampton, Sunderland, West Ham United, Swansea City, Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea. Kante made his first start for his country against Russia and is now in contention for a squad place at Euro 2016 A minimum haul of 17 points from those games would guarantee Leicester the title for the first time in their 132-year history.Kante said: We will fight for the title but it is not [our] due. We have to fight in every game. There are seven games left. We hope to win the league but its not finished.

For all players, coaches and management types that made the postseason this week is a good one because whether you have the bye or a game this Sunday, you know the season and an opportunity is present. Based on the history of this league whether youre the crossover team or the team with the best record in the league you cant win it all because it truly is about who plays the best that day. Not day after day, that single, solitary day. For Ottawa and Toronto who played last Friday night, have no doubt - this 2014 season was disappointing because the truth is in a nine-team league if you dont make the playoffs what other possible conclusion can you draw? In the case of Ottawa the honeymoon is over and expectations will surge towards winning and entertaining and no longer creating and improving. The two positive goals that were established for the Redblacks is in stadium fan attendance and a core of good players to build on. The in-stadium fan response was special because it was maintained throughout the year. I anticipated it to waver as the season moved on but it didnt and that was enjoyable to watch. No doubt with a better team that spirit will continue into 2015. Many of the players on the present Ottawa roster will be on next years squad and I feel they accomplished their goal of finding a core of players. They do need more but a sense of continuity was evident in the second half of the season and that group of about 12 will be better than this next year if for no other reason than they are in the same system for another year. I would definitely bring Henry Burris back but they do have to find the next Mike Reilly to create an effective image of success. Age effects all and Henry is no longer a puppy, more an older pit bull. For Toronto through the season they were painful to watch for two reasons. For one, injuries to key players were consistent and the other was the embarrassing absence of true professional football training and practice facilities. We all noticed the turn-around in Hamilton with the addition of Tim Hortons Field and the Argos need to find their own Tim Hortons Field to be a rejuvenated success. And they need to develop the next Ricky Ray who will be closer to 40 than 30 at the end of the 2015 season. I think it is a truth to say the No. 1 challenge for the next commissioner iss to solve the Toronto Argonaut problem.dddddddddddd In BC there is no other team with a more difficult challenge going into the playoffs than the Lions. They lost their last twp games by pretty dominant scores, to Edmonton 37-3, and last week at home to Calgary 33-16. Their confidence is being tested but once again even though they travel west to east it is a one-game event in football, so BC needs to rediscover its confidence for Sunday November 16 as that is the only day it is needed. Stephan Logan for BC makes a difference. He had 117 yards rushing and 70 yards in pass receptions and is the guy the Lions can lean on. For Montreal even though they lost to Hamilton 29-15 they beat BC 24-9 in Week 2 and 41-5 in Week 4. That was a long time ago, and beating the same team three times in one year is tough to do, so advantage BC. This one will not be easy for an Alouette team coming off the Tiger-Cat loss. I give BC a real chance for the upset. With Calgary they are set to sit, wait and pounce. Scoring 33 points and winning and getting all healthy again with a bye week ahead, the Stampeders are the team to beat. For the Ticats the win over Montreal was significant in so many ways. First, they remained undefeated at Tim Hortons Field, home of the East final. The bye week is the first rest in 13 weeks for Hamilton as their two regular season byes came in the first half of the season. Plus, they have a defence that continues to improve by making game-changing plays or taking away a teams best player. Duron Carter had 11 catches for 185 yards against Toronto two weeks ago, against Hamilton he had only four catches for 43 yards. From a record of 1-6 back in August to East Division champions and now one game away from the Grey Cup, well done Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The West semi-final will match Saskatchewan at Edmonton and just like BC the Riders have a good chance for the upset, and it would be an upset indeed. But Saskatchewan did run for an amazing 193 yards between all running backs and their quarterback and do have a pivot who has played playoff football before. They had no Mike Reilly and no John White last game, but trust me when I say this, if Edmonton does not play its best football it will not win. Kerry Joseph can handle the pressure. BC at Montreal at 1pm et, Saskatchewan at Edmonton at 4:30pm et this Sunday on TSN. Let the playoffs begin!
