Makelele was brilliant but for the last decade, I believe it has to be Ngolo Kante.

Kante has been nothing short of spectacular for Chelsea. He is widely regarded as the best central defensive midfielder in the game. He was vital to Antonio Conte's team which won the premier league. He was also key to France winning the World Cup.

Kante is known for his tackling and his unlimited energy. He is also a fan favorite and is liked by the footballing world for how humble he is.

While I believe that Ramires too has been crucial to Chelsea, Kante is just a better player and hence deserves to be on this list.

Substitutes - Ramires and John Obi Mikel
