Leicester City’s Ndidi the best holding midfielder in Premier League – Maddison

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison believes his teammate Wilfred Ndidi is the best holding midfielder in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old has been a consistent performer for the Foxes since his arrival at the King Power Stadium in 2017 as a direct replacement for N’Golo Kante, who left for Chelsea.

The combative midfielder is currently ranked as the best tackler in the English top-flight with 61 tackles and has the most ball recovery this season (37).
