Kante has been one of the best midfielder in the Premier League

The third and final Leicester City player to make it onto the list, Kanté has championed the defensive duties for the Foxes this season, combining power and football intelligence to break down many an attack and provide chances for the team’s attacking components.

Heat map after heat map has been released outlining the French international’s relentless work ethic, his number of interceptions (130) is second only to Villa’s Idrissa Gueye and Kanté has made more tackles than any other Premier League player this season (135).

Vardy and Mahrez have been incredible but with Leicester winning a hefty percentage of their matches by a single goal, there’s a lot to be said for the defensive influence of N’Golo in midfield.
