#1 N’golo Kante (Chelsea)
Crowned the PFA Player of the Year recently, N’golo Kante has been undoubtedly the best and most effective midfielder in the world this season. Poised to win back to back league titles with different clubs, the Frenchman has been a true revelation and he is finally getting the credit he deserves.
Kante’s ability to regain possession in the centre of the park has been vital, while his willingness to storm forward with the ball at his feet has created many openings for Chelsea this season. Kante’s positional sense and awareness of the game is second to none and he heads the list for the most interceptions in the Premier League this year.
