N’golo Kante – Chelsea

The man with the non-stop motor. Midfielder N’Golo Kante’s impact on Chelsea has been immediate.

Currently third in the Premier League for completed passes (452) and racking up 21 tackles, the former Leicester City star’s ability to cover space in the midfield has allowed Chelsea to pressure their opponents in a more effective way.

With Kante in the mix, Chelsea’s attacking players can contribute more prominently.
