8) N'Golo Kante
Kante has transformed from relative unknown to world superstar in just a couple of years! He has excellent ball-winning abilities and is probably the best player at winning the ball back, he has good positioning and athleticism, making him a nightmare for the opponents that have to face him on a weekly basis.
His intelligence and ability to read the game has turned him into possibly the best defensive midfielder in the world. He has played in 93% of all eligible PL games since joining Leicester in 2015, only missing 8 games out of a possible 114!
Kante’s ability to run many kilometers and tackle players that are bigger than him during the game and win back the ball constantly without getting hurt and tired puts him on this list as a very fit footballer.
