Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has won the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.

Kante, who was named the PFA Player of the Year last month, beat off competition from Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard and Tottenham's Dele Alli to win the award.

"It is a fantastic honour to win this award," Kante said. "With so many great players in this Chelsea squad and in the Premier League, for the Football Writers' Association to name me their Footballer of the Year is a very proud moment in my career."
