The short 10: Diminutive stars in the Premier League

#2 N'Golo Kanté (Chelsea)

Height: 5 feet, 6 inches (1.68m)

A man of many parts, N'Golo is crucial in Chelsea's bid to defend their title.

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.

About the author

Well, I love football (a look at my body of work tells a better story). However, I also love other sports and from time to time, pen articles concerning basketball, tennis, boxing, and e-sports.

I follow these sports as much as I can, this explains why I write on a lot of different topics ranging from analysis and tactics to transfers and a whole lot more (reviews, previews and everything in between).

Real Madrid is the team closest to my heart (same goes for Rafa Nadal, Raul Gonzalez, Mike Tyson, Mortal Kombat and the San Antonio Spurs).
