World Cup 2018 Best XI (Heading Into Tournament)
6. Central Midfield - N'Golo Kanté (France)
In a disappointing season for Chelsea, Kanté was one of the few shining lights for the Blues. Consistently excellent, the 27-year-old always puts in a shift and wins almost every challenge he contests - no player has won more tackles than Kanté since he moved to the Premier League in 2015.
The thing about the former PFA Player of the Year is that he makes it all looks so easy. He reads the game effortlessly, covers every blade of grass on the pitch and has an engine that is unmatched.
