The Frenchman is the favourite to win the award after his incredible performances in the heart of Antonio Conte’s midfield.

The 25-year-old arrived as a Premier League champion on a £30million deal from Leicester City and he’s thrived in a 3-4-3 system at Stamford Bridge.

‘I’m flourishing but I don’t feel like the best player in the Premier League,’ said Kante.

‘There are a lot of good players. A lot of guys would deserve it on my team.’
