#1 N'Golo Kante (France, Chelsea)
N'golo Kante is one of the very few players in the world who cannot hide his love for football in the pitch. For a defensive midfielder, the Frenchman is full of smiles and looks happy every time he sets foot on the pitch.
On the pitch, there are few people better than him at what he does and his teammates regularly acknowledge that the Chelsea midfielder does the work of two men on the field. It was his heroics that won Leicester their maiden Premier League trophy and he was a vital part of the Chelsea midfield that won the trophy in the following season.
This summer, Kante did the cleaning up for France at the World Cup and was instrumental in their World Cup win. A shy, humble and simple person, his stardom has not touched him yet. The thing he still loves the most is to play football and perhaps it is this nature of the Frenchman that fans adore.
At Chelsea's training ground, Kante's mini cooper looks out of place among the many expensive cars of his teammates. On the field though, Kante is perhaps a league above most of his teammates. His qualities and his humble nature are a couple of the many reasons why N'golo Kante has no haters in the world.
