The Hot Seat: Time for Wilfred Ndidi to move on?

The Leicester City midfielder has enjoyed another fine campaign, but is it now time for him to seek pastures new?

Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi is coming to the end of a magnificent campaign, having again proven himself to be among the finest central midfielders in the world game.

The Nigeria international was an FA Cup winner with the Foxes—neutralising N’Golo Kante in a memorable Wembley final—and ended the year as the most effective tackler in the Premier League.

Averaging 3.7 tackles per match in the top flight, Ndidi eclipsed other prolific retrievers like Alan, Yves Bissouma and Oriol Romeu, while only Leeds United’s Liam Cooper averaged more interceptions per match than the Super Eagle.
