#6 N'Golo Kante
When Maurizio Sarri signed Jorginho at Chelsea this season, everyone had one question in their minds, where will the best defensive midfielder in the world, that is N'Golo Kante, play as Sarri clearly prefers Jorginho as his defensive midfielder. Kante has played most of the season on the right of the midfield and still has been Chelsea's best midfielder by far this season.
Trending
The Frenchman has quickly adapted to ' Sarri Ball' and has played his more attacking midfield role very well. His runs in between the full backs and center backs from midfield have been a highlight this season and he has not lost his touch in terms of making defensive contributions. If Kante had been played in his natural position by Sarri this season, then there is no doubt that he would have been in the top 2 of this list.
The 27-year-old has scored 3 goals and given a total of 4 assists this season. Kante averages 76 touches per game and has made a total of 37 interceptions.
#5 David Silva
If there is an award for being the most consistent midfielder in the Premier League for a decade, then the award is going to be won by David Silva. The little Spanish genius is a monster in the middle of the park and he has adapted seamlessly to Pep Guardiola's philosophy at Manchester City.
The Spaniard is very hard to track as he picks up spaces in between the midfield and defense and his vision is just astounding. His link-up play with Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling on the left has been a highlight this season. The Spaniard is very hard working off the ball and has recovered the ball several times for the Skyblues this season.
The 33-year-old has scored a total of 6 goals this and made a further 6. He has won 63 per cent of his tackles and he averages 92 touches per game, with 89 per cent passing accuracy.
