Interceptions
In the 2017/18 season, Kante made 68 interceptions in 34 league appearances, according to StatsBomb, but that number declined significantly the following campaign when he managed just 43 in two more league games.
It must be pointed that last year was a bit of an anomaly for Kante, having played only 22 league matches due to injuries, but he still only managed 28 interceptions; a notable decrease if we assess his performance on a per 90-minute basis. However, he has shown a marked improvement this season, having won 49 interceptions so far.
