#1 N'Golo Kante
N'Golo Kante is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the world right now. He is a tough tackler who is quite adept in breaking the opposition's counter-attacks due to his tremendous amount of pace. He is also an extremely talented presser who likes to venture forward, and is proficient in maintaining possession for his side.

Kante was one of the key players in France's 2018 FIFA World Cup triumph. He intercepted the ball a record 20 times in the World Cup. He has become one of the star players for Chelsea this season. The new Chelsea manager Sarri has given him more freedom to venture forward and display his attacking skills to the world.
He also has the rare ability due to his pace to come back and help the defenders during the opposition's counter-attacks. Kante has become a force to be reckoned with in the centre defensive midfield position.
