What is N'Golo Kanté´s position?

N'Golo Kanté is perhaps the most admired defensive midfielder in modern football. His hard work has delighted Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea´s DT, since his arrival on the bench at Stamford Bridge in January.  "If you play with N'Golo he has half more player", he assured.

The tireless work of the 30-year-old midfielder has been Chelsea capital until the UEFA Champions League final, making it all the more surprising that Kanté took so long to reach the top of football. Nevertheless, he was rejected by the youth ranks of many teams in France before starting his career in the French second division, and only rose to stardom after he and current Manchester City midfielder Riyad Mahrez, will help Leicester win the 2015/16 English title.

In Leicester’s title-winning campaign, his totals of 156 interceptions and 125 tackles were the best in the league in both categories. And that wasn’t a total that Kante reached by simply just patrolling in front of the defence. Instead, he acted dynamically with license to get up and down the pitch. This is so, that, the French is praised for his ability to 'be everywhere', annoying rivals and snatching the ball.

However, that does not mean that Kante is not competent with the ball. He has a passing success rate of 83.2% this season and his average of 1.3 key passes per 90 minutes is the seventh highest on the Chelsea squad. However, he is not a player who can dictate the game from deep with his passing ability.
