Kante's brilliant work in midfield helped propel Leicester to their unlikely title triumph. The dynamic midfielder not only topped the stats for number of tackles but for interceptions, too. However, what is really interesting is that despite enduring such a difficult campaign with bottom-club Aston Villa, Gueye was the closest man to Kante on both of those metrics.
Gueye was something of a curio. While Villa struggled, he impressed. In the early weeks of the season, Tim Sherwood marvelled at his impact. "He is very aggressive, he gets at people, wants to tackle and wants to get on the football," said the then-Villa manager. "He is brave in and out of possession and that's something you want to see. He has been outstanding."
