The Energizer Bunny, N’Golo has been integral to the success of the last two winners of the Premier League; Leicester City and Chelsea.

With his non-stop running, great tackling and excellent ball-winning abilities, he is fundamental to the hopes of Chelsea to retain the league title and barring injury, is expected to be one of the first names on the team sheet in every game.

He has made the defensive midfield his own and stands head and shoulder above every other defensive midfielder in the league.

Given his role, his return of 3 goals and 5 assists in 79 Premier League appearances is more than adequate.
