Kante wins second individual award
N’GOLO Kante’s impact in guiding Chelsea to the brink of the English Premier League title was rewarded yesterday when he was voted the 2017 Footballer of the Year by soccer writers.
The France international topped the poll of journalists just weeks after being voted Player of the Year by his fellow professionals. A strong defensive shield and driving force in midfield since his arrival from 2016 champion Leicester City, Kante has been a standout performer for a Chelsea team that is two wins from winning the league title and has also reached the FA Cup final. Chelsea winger Eden Hazard was second in the voting, with Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli in third. Kante and Hazard received more than 65 percent of the vote.
