Since he joined in January, Ndidi has turned out to be one of Leicester’s City most important players. He won the club’s young player of the season in consecutive years.
This season, only Leicester City teammate Ricardo Periera (103) has more tackles in the Premier League than Ndidi (86)
But the Super Eagles star leads the players with most interceptions in the Premier League this campaign. The 23-year-old is a fulcrum of a Leicester side that is currently in the top four, and at a point was challenging Liverpool in the title race.
Ndidi has featured 25 times in all competitions for the Foxes this season, scoring twice.
