Top 10 central midfielders in football at the moment

#4 N’Golo Kante, Chelsea

Chelsea FC v Cardiff City - Premier League
Kante

The former Leicester City midfielder is quite different from most on the list, but mighty effective. Kante’s biggest strengths are the defensive aspects of the game.

He was instrumental in Leicester City’s title-winning 2015-16 campaign and then repeated the same at Stamford Bridge the next season. A hard-working player, Kante is known for his ball-winning abilities, tactical intelligence, positioning, and ability to read the game.

The Frenchman played a huge role in France’s title winning 2018 Word Cup campaign. The 27-year-old is one of the best tacklers in world football at the moment, if not the best, and has averaged close to 4 tackles per game throughout his top-flight career. With almost 3 successful interceptions and 89 percent passing accuracy per game for Chelsea, Kante is certainly one of the best.
