Beating Alexis Sanches And Diego Costa!, N’Golo Kante Wins London Player Of The Year Award 2017.

Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has been named the London Payer of the Year.





The summer signing from champions Leicester City has claimed the award ahead of the likes of Dele Alli, Alexis Sanchez, Danny Rose and Blues team-mate Diego Costa.

Kante proved to be one of the stand-out performers in Leicester’s remarkable title triumph in 2015-16 and has been similarly effective since moving to Stamford Bridge.

The midfielder has proved an ever-present in manager Antonio Conte’s midfield, making 30 appearances in all competitions and scoring one goal.

There was further recognition for Chelsea on the night, with Conte receiving the award for the best manager in London.

Premier League rival Mauricio Pochettino was also nominated, although the Italian claimed the prize having only joined the Blues in the summer.

Conte has guided Chelsea to 20 league wins from 26 matches thus far this season, with the west Londoners 10 points clear of second-placed Tottenham and closing in on the title.
