Since joining Leicester in 2017 the 24-year-old has gradually established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. I only wanted to be Wilfred Ndidi and not someone else. "I just love to give my best and when the media talk about it, that's good for the team," he said. Ndidi has made 140 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing eights assists in the Premier League since joining from Genk for £15m in early 2017.
