The role N'Golo Kante has played in recent history at Chelsea Football Club makes him nearly impossible to replace. Signed from Leicester City on the back of winning the Premier League, the midfielder has been one of the most consistent performers at Stamford Bridge.
Since joining for a fee of £30million in 2016, Kante has lifted the Premier League in his debut campaign, the Champions League, the Europa League, the Club World Cup and the FA Cup. A constant presence - hassle may be the right word for the Blues' opponents - in midfields gone by but his time in west London is slowly creeping towards its end.
Kante sees his contract at Chelsea expire in the summer and is expected to leave the club when his deal ends, as it stands. Unfortunately for him, his 2022/23 season has been massively hampered by injuries but his services are still likened by the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
