Best Premier League XI Of The Last Decade

5. CM - N'Golo Kante

Although it would be extremely fun to have a midfield that is full of attack-minded players, that would be a little unrealistic and unfair to the man who takes the second spot in our midfield, N'Golo Kante. To be honest, how could we deny him? After all, he's won back-to-back Premier League titles with two different teams, including the incredible Leicester City side that shocked the entire footballing world.

As fans, we pay more attention to the skillful technicians or the players who score all the goals. However, for them to be able to do that, there has to be someone on the team who is willing to do the dirty work. Every great squad has that one person who will do the extra running, will always remain disciplined, protect the defence and will sacrifice for the team without any fuss at all.

Truthfully, Kante might not get the true credit he deserves until he decides to depart the Premier League. Only then will we be able to recognise the sort of talent the Frenchman possessed and how he used it to drive the teams he played for to success.
