N'Golo Kante Edges Out Teammate Eden Hazard To Win The PFA's Player Of The Year

The man who covers 30 percent of the planet has been named the Professional Footballers Association's (PFA) Player Of the Year. The PFA is a players union that aims to secure players rights in regards to clubs and football institutions from being unethical and or taking advantage of their players. N'Golo Kante's peers and competitors saw him as the most consistent player in England. 

During the 2015/16 Premier League season, Kante's efforts directly contributed to Leicester City's title. Before the 2016/17 season, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte signed the Frenchman for 32 million pounds. Even though Chelsea's squad is filled with world-class players, Kante stands out every match. Kante has played in 31 games this season, ranking fifth in passes completed and second for most tackles in the Premier League. If Chelsea goes on to win the title this year, Kante will have been a key factor in their dominance.       

Kante gave this statement after receiving his reward:       

N'Golo Kante has made the PFA Team of the Year for the second year in a row. If he keeps continuing this form, we should expect to see him make this team for years to come if he stays in England.
