Meanwhile, Kante has proved his worth with stellar displays in the middle of the Chelsea midfield, having also got a goal and an assist to his name.
Amongst the Blues key players, who have both been instrumental in Chelsea’s title chase this season, there are four other players closing in on the award.
Everton’s Golden Boot favourite Romelu Lukaku with his 23 goals, Manchester United’s number nine Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Tottenham’s talisman striker Harry Kane and Arsenal’s star forward Alexis Sanchez round off the rest of the shortlist.
Chelsea however have no players shortlisted for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
