The 25-year-old has clocked up the miles in the centre of midfield this season following his move from Leicester City last summer and has impressed supporters and pundits alike.

His ability to intercept, dictate and create has given Antonio Conte's men a recipe for success. 

Sportsmail columnist Jamie Carragher said recently that Kante has been 'unbelievable at Chelsea'. 

He is one of the favourites to be named PFA Player of the Year.

Blues manager Conte, who is on course to win his first Premier League title with the club, was awarded the manager of the year award.

He arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer after leaving the Italy manager's job at the end of the European Championship in France.

He has found a winning formula since moving to a 3-4-3 formation and Chelsea sit ten points clear of Tottenham at the top of the league.
