Players from Chelsea and Spurs picked up the most coveted awards during a swanky night out in London for the Players Football Association Awards ceremony.

Anyone who has played football at any level knows the most prestigious personal award to collect is the one voted for by your fellow peers, and last night, the Players Football Association (PFA) voted N’Golo Kante as their Player of the Year.

The Chelsea and France midfield sensation is on course to be the first player to win back-to-back Premier League titles with two different clubs. Kante won the title with Leicester City in his only season at the club following his £5.6m arrival from Caen last season.

The Frenchman was the only high-profile player to leave the champions in the summer when he joined Chelsea for a reported £32m. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Leicester ended up scrapping for their lives at the wrong end of the table, while Chelsea emerged from the mid-tables blues to become the favourites to win this year’s honours.
