Top 5 Chelsea players of 2017

#2 N’Golo Kante

Kante has won 2 consecutive Premier League titles with Leicester and Chelsea

It would be fair to say that Kante has been phenomenal ever since he made a name for himself in England with his performances for Leicester City. The 2-time Premier League winner has gone from strength and the Kante juggernaut does not seem to be coming to an end anytime soon and Chelsea have been huge beneficiaries of his abilities in the middle of the park.

The Frenchman was another instrumental player in Chelsea’s title-winning campaign with his performances at the centre of the park and finished the last season brilliantly. His tireless energy and technical ability are something any manager would want and he continues to be a thorn in the flesh of every opponent he comes across.

Kante’s fearless game, his ability to not afford the opposition midfielders any time and space in the middle of the park as well as link up excellently with his teammates have made the Chelsea midfielder one of the most admired players of the current generation.

In addition to the dirty work that he so often does in the midfield, Kante has also shown great creative ability in the season thus far creating a total of 28 chances in 19 appearances and has made the £30 million transfer fee that Chelsea paid for his services seem like peanuts considering the inflated football market.
