Breaking! Ngolo Kante Wins EPL Player Of The Year by TheBlessedMAN: 11:43pm On Apr 23, 2017 |
N'Golo Kante has won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award for 2016-17. The Chelsea midfielder, 26, beat Eden Hazard, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexis Sanchez in the vote by his fellow players. Tottenham's Dele Alli won the young player prize for the second successive year. Manchester City's Lucy Bronze won the Women's Player of the Year award. Birmingham's Jess Carter was named Women's Young Player of the Year. Former England captain David Beckham received the PFA's Merit award for his contribution to the game during the ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Sunday. Former England women's captain Kelly Smith - who became England's first female professional footballer when she joined American side New Jersey in 1999 - landed the PFA Special Achievement award. Listen: Creating N'Golo Kante How do you create the next N'Golo Kante? The league's 'most complete midfielder' Kante was key to Leicester's surprise Premier League win last year and could become first player to achieve the distinction of winning successive titles with different clubs if Chelsea can stay ahead of Spurs in this season's race. Since signing Kante in July, Chelsea have gone from a mid- table finish to the top of the pile with six games to play. In his absence, Leicester have largely struggled to replicate their heroics of last season and are still not safe from relegation. France international Kante has played every minute in the league this season apart from the Boxing Day game against Bournemouth, when he was suspended, and the final 11 minutes against Tottenham on 4 January. N'Golo Kante - 2016-17 Premier League season Appearances: 31 Duels (won): 342 (174) Goals: 1 Interceptions: 72 Assists: 1 Clearances: 40 Passes (successful): 1,899 (88.78%) Blocks: 4 Tackles: 110 Dribbles (successful): 47 (68.09%) Speaking earlier this season, BBC pundit Phil Neville described Kante as "the one who has knitted this Chelsea team together". "I thought he was a number six like former Chelsea player Claude Makelele. But he is a number six, an eight and a 10 - he plays absolutely everywhere, three different positions," he said. "I think Kante is the most complete midfielder in the Premier League at the moment. "He will redefine what we are looking for from a midfield player." |

This is no surprise. Every objective football fan will understand Kante is everything right for CFC and the setback for LFC. This unassuming and industrious boy is simply outstanding. |
