The baby-faced World Cup winning warrior, N'Golo Kante is having a ball in the Premier League. Yet to be defeated in the league, Sarri's Chelsea have had not many teething issues whilst imbibing the Sarriball philosophy.
And that is in large part thanks to the 27-year-old Frenchman, who has managed to thrive despite being outed from his favourite defensive midfield position. The former Leicester City player now plays in a more attacking role but continues to be one of the most menacing opponents one can come up against and is one of the most vital cogs of the Chelsea system.
Kante wasn't on the list last month but his consistency and hard work seems to still be getting him places. The Frenchman enters the shortlist in place of PSG's Edinson Cavani who has struggled for form and is without goals in the last 4 games.
