The 27-year old joined Chelsea from Leicester in 2016 after being a part of the Foxes' incredible 2015-16 title success and went on to win another PL title with Chelsea in 2016-17 before lifting the biggest trophy of them all - the World Cup in Russia 2018. Kante has currently made 99 appearances for the Blues in all competitions.
Kante's best attributes are also Defending (rated 87) and Physical (rated 84). Despite standing just 5'6" tall, the ratings show that the diminutive Frenchman certainly packs a punch in midfield with his intelligent reading of the game. He has also been given a decent 2-star skill move and 3-star weak foot.
