#1 N’golo Kante
N’golo Kante has had a whirlwind 14 or so months. He played a key role in Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League triumph last season and this season he is already looking like Chelsea’s main man in midfield.
When Chelsea splashed 30m on one of the game’s premier central defensive midfielders, they knew exactly what they were getting and the Frenchman has added much-needed steel and energy to Antonio Conte's midfield. The pairing of Fabregas and Matic looked very fragile last season, but Kante’s signing has ensured Conte can implement his philosophy completely at Stamford Bridge.
