N’Golo Kante has been voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association.
The Chelsea midfielder polled most votes among the 340-strong membership, beating team-mate Eden Hazard and third-placed Dele Alli to the award.
Kante is the fifth player in six seasons to complete the awards double having last month been named Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers’ Association.
The former Leicester midfielder will become the first outfield player to win back-to-back Premier League titles with different clubs if Chelsea win the title
