The Nigerian superstar has been in great form for Leicester City in their campaign at the ongoing Premier League season as the Foxes are currently occupying third position on the table.

Recently, Wilfred Ndidi was named as the man of the match after his side's perfect Premier League win over champions Liverpool in which the Nigerian created the assist for the FOxes' third goal scored by Harvey Barnes.

While speaking according to the report on Complete Sports, Brendan Rodgers hailed Wilfred Ndidi claiming that the Nigerian has been of great advantage to his squad.

“All the stats show you what a difference he makes for us.

“At the highest level you need players who can recover the ball, especially when you have talented players ahead and he is one of the best in the Premier League at that. He was colossal.”

So far this season in the Premier League, Wilfred Ndidi has played 12 games for Leicester City and the Nigerian has scored one goal for the club.

Meanwhile, Wilfred Ndidi and his teammates will be in action again on Thursday, February 18, as they will face Slavia Praha in Europa League round of 32 first leg match.
