Antonio Conte refuses to choose between Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante for PFA award
The Italian feels their nominations are well deserved.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte refused to choose between Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante as his pick for PFA Player of the Year.
The Blues duo are on the six-man shortlist for the top award along with Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku.
However, the Italian was unwilling to pick one of his key performers this season over the other.
“I think it’s great, for them, it’s a great achievement to receive this nomination,” he said.
“I hope for them to be the best player of the year and also I want them to win the league. Awards are important but the most important thing is if you match the two.
“But I don’t like to make a choice between two of my players. It’s not right. They deserve the best because they are having a good season, but I think all my players are having a great season.
“I’m pleased because it’s a fight between two of my players and four other players from other teams. I want to see who is the winner.”
