N’Golo Kante, a Chelsea mid, is surprisingly rated behind his club-mate Jorginho, among the top ten finest center midfielders in the world right now. Last season, the 30-year-old French midfielder played a key role in Chelsea’s Champions League win. He had played 13 times for Chelsea in Europe’s best club tournament. He scored four goals and provided one assist on a run to the final in Portugal.

In the Champions League, the French player also assisted Chelsea to maintain nine clean sheets and win four Player of the Match accolades. Not to forget, Kante’s form in the last season gained him the position among Jorginho and Lionel Messi as viable Ballon d’Or contenders in 2021.

The 2018 World Cup champion was ranked seventh by FourFourTwo, who called him the “greatest ball-winner” in football. According to the newspaper, Kante is a “workhorse”. He was also termed as “underrated in terms of what he can accomplish on the ball.”

Marcos Llorente, Leon Goretzka, and Ilkay Gundogan were all placed further forward of the former Leicester City midfielder.

Jorginho, on the other hand, was rated the third best midfielder in the world. He beat N’Golo Kante and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.

In addition to his Champions League triumphs, the 29-year-old mid from Italy won the UEFA Super Cup with Chelsea and the Euro 2020 championship with Italy in the summer.

After an outstanding run of success for club and country, FourFourTwo hailed Jorginho as a “sensational” player. He was also dubbed as a “coach’s dream.”
