Arsenal and Chelsea stars shine but who tops the 5 PL players of the week?

3. N’Golo Kante (Chelsea)

The France international was the lynchpin for the Foxes last season, yet on Saturday afternoon he was instrumental in causing their downfall.

Having built a reputation based around interceptions and possession recoveries, Kante was showing the side of his game which is often overlooked as he sprayed the ball around and started countless attacks.

Leicester haven’t replaced the 25-year-old former French third division midfielder, who bossed young Daniel Amartey with his infectious energy as he imposed himself in a performance which looks to have kick-started his Chelsea career.

For Claudio Ranieri’s side, on current reflection, it may be a risky decision to prioritise the Champions League come May.
