Commenting on Ndidi, Squawka wrote: “You may have been struck by Wilfred Ndidi’s importance to Leicester City during his recent spell on the sidelines. Across those five matches he missed, due to a troublesome knee injury, Brendan Rodgers’ men picked up just two points from 15 available while shipping seven goals.
“He is without doubt the glue which binds everything together in perfect harmony and there’s a strong case his presence allows everyone around him to excel, as we saw in those big wins over Newcastle United (3-0), West Ham (4-1) and Aston Villa (4-0), which happen to be his only league appearances in 2020 so far.”
And on Ndidi’s key stat he has made the most tackles (92) and interceptions (61) of any Premier League midfielder this season.

That’s absolutely deserving! This is just the beginning bro! Keep winning.
Definitely going places. Got age on his side. Only needs to bring back to long range drives. Surely has it in him. God bless Oyinye..
Ndidi, bring back your long range shooting with accuracy and get your ball distribution/passes together in addition to your already established ball winning ability and you ll go on to be one of the best players in the world. So happy to see you shine.
