Kovacic earned plenty of praise for his strong performances for Croatia at this summer’s World Cup in Russia as they reached the final before losing to France in the showpiece last month.
The 24-year-old will now be hoping to prove himself as worthy of a regular spot in the Chelsea FC team ahead of the new campaign.
And the midfielder has admitted that he is looking forward to getting used to playing with former PFA player of the year Kante for the Blues.
Speaking in an interview with Chelsea FC’s website, Kovacic said: “It will be nice to play with him of course but there is a coach to pick the side and I need to give my best to prove myself.
“To talk about myself is difficult, I don’t like to talk about myself.”
