#2 N'Golo Kante

France v Italy - International Friendly match
Kante never stops running

Kante has evolved over the years into one of the best central defensive midfielders in Europe. Being blessed with raw pace and stamina, he is extremely efficient in winning the ball back for his team during the opposing team's counter-attack with his immaculate tackling skills.

Kante is superb in breaking the opposition's rhythm and then starting a counter-attack for his own team. Being deployed as a central defensive midfielder for France, he likes to join the attack but is equally effective in tracking back and helping his defenders.

Being a key player for France, Kante will be crucial in securing France's defence and creating chances for them with his vision. Kante will showcase his world-class talent in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
