#1 N'Golo Kante

One of the architects of Leicester City’s Premier League title win last season, N’Golo Kante is known for his relentless running during matches! His teammates call him “The Rash” for his persistent aggression and the fact that he never stops running. In fact even now when Kante plays for Chelsea, one can be assured that he will cover every inch of the field for his team.
His former manager at Leicester, Claudio Ranieri, suspects – in jest, of course – that Kante has a set of batteries in his shorts, “This player Kante, he was running so hard (in training) that I thought he must have a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts,” said the Italian manager.

However, the key aspect that would make him an ideal marathon runner is the fact that his energy rises to newer levels during the dying stages of a match, akin to a long distance runner during the final stretch of the race track.
Such is his prowess that a meme related to him running the London Marathon just as a warm-up before a match went viral on social media last year.
