N'Golo Kante

I think I can improve in my attacking role, I can do more.

The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was too good to turn down.

I give my best for my team-mates. At Leicester it was like that and everyone was focused for the title and we did it. Here at Chelsea it's the same.

I play with team-mates and when the team is good you have a good result.

I know how it feels to handle the pressure and keep working for the win.

We seem to have some quite good 'FIFA 17' players at Chelsea.

I need to keep improving tactically, defensively and offensively for the last pass, the last shot.

I am not one of the best midfielders in the world or something like that.

I play with some talented players like Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and Nathaniel Chalobah. They have different styles and I can learn from everyone.

I sometimes should be more decisive.

My first season in English football was very special. I hope to go on to achieve even more as a Chelsea player.

No, I don't think I'm especially one of the best players in the league.

I try not to get carried away and to only focus on the team goals to keep winning, to keep performing to the best I can.

I came to Chelsea to work, to keep learning and to keep improving.

Among the clubs that most wanted to recruit me were Marseille and Leicester.

I was at Boulogne, in the second team - the sixth, then the fifth division. I wasn't professional, so I kept studying because I wasn't sure if I would be able to make a living as a footballer.

I can talk with my team-mates, understand them and it's better for understanding the coaching staff and the game itself. If someone's making a run and they shout for the ball, I know now.

I try to speak with my team-mates a lot because I need them everyday.

I've never been someone who loves a car and when I was young I didn't have the ambition of a car or something like that.

I chose Chelsea because I spoke with the manager here and when I did that, I felt the capacity of the manager and that is why I made my decision. And of course I like Premier League football and that is why I decided to stay in the Premier League.

My English is improving because I learnt it in one year at Leicester, before it was just in school and on holiday, but I have to learn more, I don't understand it all.

It's always special to come to a new club.

It is always special to play against my old team.

I'm happy to help the team win.

We have to work together for the good of the team, for trying to win games. That is what we train to do.

The way we stop Mesut Ozil is as a team. He's a good player but only as a team can we stop him.

It's a huge honour to be named player of the year... and I want to thank everyone who voted for me.

Football is like this: after every game you have to do better in the next and the season is the same.

Like everyone I am sometimes tired, but if I need to run I will try to run.

I think what is important to fight for winning the ball it is the spirit. I have had that since I started playing football, so it is the spirit but I need to be fit for doing it.

There are millions of ­people out there, who every day want to get the opportunity to do the work we are doing and it's a short career. That is why I give it my all at every given opportunity.

Playing in the Champions League is a big dream of mine. When you are a player and have a chance to play in it, it's a good thing.

I can't be the same as another player. I am just my way and I will try to improve on that at Chelsea.

I saw Claude Makelele play in the French national team but before when he played at a club I didn't watch him a lot.

There have been a lot of French midfielders at Chelsea, but they did it their way and I do it my way and I hope I can do good things at Chelsea.

With Arsenal there was an interest but not a big as other clubs. That is why I didn't go to Arsenal and went to Chelsea.

I came from amateur football.

I grew up just as my friends did until 19 before leaving home, and it's because of that I am who I am now.

My failures were something for me - my first contact with professional football. Though it didn't go all that well, it's not a regret, it's just like that. But looking back, those failures helped me consider football differently, consider the professional game differently.

The professional world makes a lot of young amateurs dream, and to go from one to the other can inspire others, like me, when I heard stories of Didier Drogba and Adil Rami, who went from being amateurs to becoming pros.

The main thing is how we play and how we work in training.

Sometimes I can help the team to score, to make the last pass or to get more chances and try to score. Maybe I can do this more often.

I can always improve. Maybe score more goals and more assists, always help the team the best I can.

We will fight against good teams.

I think Eden did an amazing job, had an amazing time with Chelsea.

There have been beautiful achievements of winning titles with my team-mates.

It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I'd been warned before how he would appeal to me. I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United. But at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.

I made the right choice to come to Chelsea.

My team-mates at Chelsea have told me about the 'Kante-facts.' It is just a bit of fun. I obviously do not cover 30 per cent of the surface of the earth.

It is true that I receive a lot of praise and that is flattering. But I try not to let it affect me.
