#6 - N'Golo Kante (£45 million)
N'Golo Kante is undoubtedly the best midfielder in the Premier League right now. The PFA Player of the year has won back-to-back League titles with Leicester City and Chelsea.
The defensive genius was the heart of both the teams. He is a steam engine that never stops running. Known for his interceptions and running with the ball, the Frenchman is also very good at picking out passes even in difficult situations.
He has been on top of his game for France too and was an important part of the team that finished runners-up at EURO 2016. He is now focused on retaining the Premier League with Chelsea and is now set to play in the Champions League for the first time in his career.
