Leicester are writing one of the greatest books in football’s historical library that may have Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez on the cover page. But somewhere in the middle, a certain N’Golo Kante has excelled in his role to help players in front of him flourish.
A player signed for £5.6 million from Caen, the French footballer has been a wall barricading Leicester’s fortress. The Parisian has averaged 4.5 tackles per game with a successful pass percentage of 81.6%.
His heat maps reveals how there isn’t a blade of grass he hasn’t covered. Enough stress cannot be laid on how important his contribution has been to the Foxes’ success this season.
His range of passes coupled with his unflinching work rate, have formed a backbone for Leicester that has been vital to them nicking crucial points either at home or away. The final chapters of Leicester’s heroic tale are still to be written but Kante’s name will find a mention in more than one.
