Central Midfielder: N’Golo Kante
Trending
The midfield phenom who helped Leicester City overcome 5000/1 odds to win the Premier League title, N’Golo Kante was a central midfield force all by himself. In a 4-4-2 formation deployed by the Foxes, legend has it that Claudio Ranieri played Danny Drinkwater in the middle and Kante on either side!
The French midfielder covered more ground than anyone else in the league and Wenger mentioned that he did try to sign him before he shot to fame with Leicester.
“Have I looked to sign Kanté? Yes. When he was in France and when he was at Leicester.
“I cannot explain everything [about Kante’s decision to move to Chelsea] but it is quite obvious when you look at where he has gone. Was it the money? I do not want to talk about that. Transfers are transfers; you cannot explain absolutely everything.” – Wenger
Wenger eventually signed Granit Xhaka in midfield but his latest comments on Kante may infuriate some Arsenal fans who may be scratching their heads wondering because Xhaka and Kante’s wages may not be all that different.
