Fans believe Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi is undervalued by the comparison website, Transfermarkt.
Although the Super Eagles star’s market value has increased compared to when he arrived in England, fans are adamant that he should be high up on the list of the world’s most valuable defensive midfielders.
Ndidi is widely regarded as one of Leicester City’s best players this season, but according to a Transfermarkt report, the 23-year-old is currently the 10th most valuable defensive midfielder in the world. The former Genk star joined the Foxes for 17.60m euros in 2017.
The top three most valuable defensive midfielders in the world are Manchester City’s Rodri, Bayern Munich’s Kimmich and Liverpool’s Fabinho. In Africa, only Thomas Partey of Ghana and Atletico Madrid ranks higher than Ndidi.
However, football fans across the world have voiced out their dissatisfaction at the ratings. A large section of fans is not convinced that the trio of West Ham’s Declan Rice, Wolverhampton Wanderers Ruben Neves, and Chelsea’s Jorginho should be ranked above a player with the most interceptions in the Premier League this season.
It should be recalled that sometimes in December, stats showed Wilfred Ndidi is the best defensive midfielder in the world.
