21-year-old Nigerian midfielder, Wilfried Ndidi, has been brilliant for Leicester City this season, starting every Premier League game for the Foxes. Ndidi was signed by the club in January 2017 to replace Ngolo Kante and settled into the eleven quiet quickly but took his time to adapt to the pace of the English game.

However, this campaign, Ndidi has been a rock in Leicester's midfield, shielded the defence excellently. The Nigerian is also creative while going forward, helping add numbers to the Leicester attack, and has four assists to his name. Leicester currently sits mid-table and Ndidi will be a crucial player for the Foxes, not just for the remainder of the season, but also in the future.

The Nigerian has been instrumental in his club's campaign this season and is one of the most underrated players in the league. Notably, Ndidi is also part of a well rounded Nigerian squad headed to the World Cup - A side tipped to be dark horses in the early stages of the tournament.
