Kante Beats Mbappe to French Player of the Year Award
Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante capped a fine 2017 by being named France Football’s French Player of the Year.
Kante beats Paris Saint-Germain star and fellow France international Kylian Mbappe to the award on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old, who succeeded last year’s winner Atonie Griezmann, edged Mbappe by five votes, while Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema finished third.
Kante, who led Leicester City to a remarkable Premier League title success two seasons ago, helped Chelsea to the top-flight crown in 2016/17.
Kante also scooped the Chelsea Players’ Player of the Year Award and finished eighth in the Ballon d’Or behind record-equalling winner, Cristiano Ronaldo.
