11. N'Golo Kanté (France/Chelsea)
N'Golo Kanté, born on March 29, 1991, in Paris, France, is widely regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Known for his tireless work rate, exceptional ball-winning ability, and remarkable stamina, Kanté has made a significant impact both at the club level, representing Chelsea, and with the French national team.

It was during his time at Leicester City that Kanté's talents truly shone.
In the 2015-2016 season, Kanté played a crucial role in Leicester City's remarkable title-winning campaign, defying all odds and capturing the imagination of football fans worldwide. His exceptional ability to intercept passes, break up opposition attacks, and cover large distances on the field made him an integral part of the team's success. Kanté's contributions were recognized when he was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year for that season.
