N’golo Kante Wins UEFA Midfielder Of The Year Award

N’golo Kante has been recognised for his incredible hard work in his football career and the year under review – 2019-2020.

“I’m very pleased to have won this award. It’s been the result of a great season last year in the Champions League and I want to thank all my team-mates and the club for getting me there,’ Kante on winning the award.

N’golo Kante was named the best midfielder following a vote by leading managers and journalists across the continent, with the accolades announced during this evening’s Champions League draw in Istanbul.

”It’s fantastic to see your players having rewards like this. It shows their individual potential and at the same time they are true team players and fantastic characters. I am very happy for them,’ Thomas Tuchel on Kante and Jorginho.

Kante beat off competition from his Blues team-mate Jorginho, as well as Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. However, Jorginho won the Men’s Player of the Year.

The Frenchman was the outstanding player in both legs of our semi-final victory against Real Madrid and put in another man-of-the-match performance in the final, during which he won more aerial duels than any Chelsea player and recorded the highest number of ball recoveries to disrupt City’s passing game.
