N’Golo Kante has been voted the Professional Footballers’ Association player of the year.
The tireless midfielder, 26, has been central to Chelsea’s surge to the Premier League summit. The Frenchman, bought from Leicester for £32million in July, is on course to win back-to-back titles.
So proud for such a honour! So amazing. As I always said, it’s a team work: thx to my teammates, @ChelseaFC members and all the fans. pic.twitter.com/4tQXf1ROXH
