5 best midfielders in the Premier League this season

#4 N'Golo Kante (Chelsea)

Kante will have to be at his best against Barcelona in the Champions League second leg

Chelsea might not be having the best of seasons so far, but one player who has been consistent throughout and always put in good performances is the 2016/17 PFA Player of the year, N'golo Kante.

Kante’s ability to regain possession in the centre of the park is unparalleled, while his willingness to storm forward with the ball at his feet has created many openings for Chelsea this year. Kante’s positional sense and awareness of the game is second to none and he is renowned for making vital interceptions and winning the ball back for his team.

The Frenchman will have to be at his best if Chelsea are to salvage their season. With important matches coming in the next few weeks, Conte will be counting on Kante to put in the energetic and effective performances he is known for.
