N'Golo Kante is fifth on our list

In fifth place is one of the most hardworking men in modern football. Known for his time at Leicester City and now playing for London side Chelsea, N'Golo Kante is in a class of his own. One of Kante’s chief characteristics is his ability to cover ground on the pitch. This trait helps him win back the ball through tackles or interceptions.

No one comes close to Kante with his ability to win back possession in the blink of an eye. The Frenchman is a delight to watch when he dismantles the opposing team's attack.

Kante has won the FIFA World Cup once in 2018 with France and has won the Premier League twice. This is an amazing achievement since he has only played English football since the second-half of 2015.
