#5 N'Golo Kante
N'golo Kante is one of the best players in his position and deserves a Ballon d'Or. His intelligence and unrivalled defensive qualities ensure any midfield is balanced. With his crazy defensive skills and dribbles, the ‘monstre’ had been a part of the Leicester City squad and made his only season at the club a memorable one by winning the club’s first ever Premier League with a high number of tackles and interceptions.
Then, he moved to Chelsea where he was rightly named as the world’s 6th Best Footballer of 2016 after he helped the club in earning a Premier League title. The charisma of the French midfielder after winning back to back Premier League titles in England with two different clubs earned him the prestigious Premier League Player of the season award twice.
Kante was instrumental in Leicester City's historic Premier League triumph and The Foxes really missed their star midfielder the following season as Kante moved to Chelsea as they struggled to replicate any semblance of cohesion in his absence.
The tiny midfielder whose footballing prowess is second to none helped France in winning the 2018 FIFA world cup in Russia where he played a major role in his nation's success.
