Iwobi - Kante was my player of the year

Since his arrival at Chelsea last summer, N’Golo Kante has attracted almost universal praise from across the Premier League - with Alex Iwobi a confirmed admirer.

The France international was named PFA Player of the Year last week, and Iwobi admits that the midfielder won his vote.

“He’s someone that works for the team and even though he’s a Chelsea player, you have to respect what he does,” he told Arsenal Player.

“He works for the team and just runs non-stop - he’s got something every player would like to have. Every player would like to have him in their team.

“The engine, the energy he brings, the enthusiasm - he is my player of the season.”
