Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has credited former Genk manager Peter Maes for switching his playing position from centre-back to midfield.
Last season, the Nigeria international was drafted into the heart of the Foxes’ defence on several occasions and he delivered some impressive performances.
His initial knowledge as a centre-back has also helped him shine in the Premier League as one of the best defensive midfielders in the division.
