Paul Merson says N’Golo Kante has proven to be a decisive player for Antonio Conte as the Blues close in on the title.
The 26-year-old has netted one goal in 27 appearances in this season so far and has only missed one game.
Speaking to Sky Sports about Chelsea’s home clash against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, Merson heaped praise on Kante:
“For me, N’Golo Kante is the player of the season. He’s been a massive, massive difference to them.”
