Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard is delighted for N'Golo Kante after he won the PFA Player of the Year award.

Hazard believes Kante's triumph is groundbreaking.

He said: "It's fully deserved. He had a great season with Leicester and then this season too.

"You know the trophy most times goes to the player who scores some goals or gets some assists and wins games, but N'Golo changed that.

"He is not scoring goals or making many assists, but he does a fantastic job on the pitch. He deserved to win."
