#3 Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)
Speaking of the best midfielders in the Premier League, it is difficult to ignore the name of Jordan Henderson. The Liverpool captain has been quite an underrated player for the Reds.

With his calm and composed presence in midfield, the Merseyside club can rely heavily on him. Henderson has the vision and passing range to create things deep from midfield and he has certainly done that very well with Liverpool. His leadership skills have been on point and have played an instrumental part in the club's success.
There aren't many midfielders in the Premier League who are as effective as Jordan Henderson in the role he plays. The 31-year old remains a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp's team and it seems the Englishman is only getting better with time.
#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Words cannot do justice to the things Kevin De Bruyne is capable of doing. The Belgian midfielder is easily one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League right now.
With his incisive passing, incomparable vision and amazing intelligence to pick out the right passes at the right time, De Bruyne has been a massive player in the league. The former Chelsea midfielder joined Manchester City in 2015 and has since won three Premier League titles with them.
With 78 assists in the league, the Belgian playmaker ranks at the 10th position in the all-time assists chart in a span of only six seasons. The 30-year old has a lot of time under his belt and can achieve bigger things with Premier League giants Manchester City.
#1 N'Golo Kante (Chelsea)
When signed from Caen in 2015 by Leicester City, no one expected N'Golo Kante to become such an immense player like he's now. The Frenchman has been excellent in the Premier League and that too on a consistent basis.
With his incredible work-rate, superb pressing skills and amazing positioning, Kante has been a solid midfielder. His abilities have made life so much easier for his team's defense. It was the same with Leicester City and even better now at Chelsea. The type of comfort and reliability he provides is second to none.
The 30-year-old is one of the few players to have won the Premier League with different clubs. With his consistent performances, Kante is surely the best midfielder in the league right now as he continues to be a massive asset in midfield for Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel.
