Hazard and Kante named among the top 15 midfielders in the world

Chelsea’s star men Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante have been named as one of the top 15 midfielders in world football.

FIFPro and FIFA have been announcing the best players in the game currently, as voted for by their fellow professionals.

Players across the globe after invited to vote for the best players in each position, with a shortlist being revealed per position.

The shortlisted players will then be battling for a place in the ‘World 11’, which will be announced at the Best FIFA Football Awards later this month.

Hazard impressed at Chelsea last season, before going on to be equally impressive under Roberto Martinez at the World Cup for Belgium.

The 27-year-old played a key role in their third-place finish in Russia, which led to speculation he could replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Kante was influential in France’s run to winning the World Cup in Russia.

The industrious midfielder was a rock in the middle of the park for Didier Deschamps’ side and his efforts in their victory has been recognised.
