N'GOLO KANTE HAS NAMED THREE CHELSEA TEAM MATES WHO SHOULD WIN THE PFA AWARD AHEAD OF HIM.

N'Golo Kante has named three footballers who he believes to be more deserving of the PFA Players' Player of the Year Award than him.

The Chelsea midfielder has been so impressive  in Antonio Conte's team this season, which have seemingly run away with the league.

The Frenchman has received widespread praise for adding stability to the Blues midfield with his energy and drive.

He is a hot favourite to pick up the Player of the Year Award, following his move from Leicester City in their surprise title-winning season.

In an interview with Canal+, a very humble Kante said: "There are quite a few players in the Premier League who deserve (PFA) this award.

"There is [Eden] Hazard, Diego Costa and David Luiz in my team."

Similarly to Kante, Hazard has brilliantly returned to form season. Terrorising opposition defences with his trickery and skills, and has unsurprisingly attracted the attention of Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

Costa has also been in fantastic goal scoring form for Chelsea, having scored 17 times in the Premier League this season.

While Luiz has silenced many who thought he could struggle under Antonio Conte with his excellent displays.
