Ndidi will be a big player, says Shakespeare


By Taofeek Babalola

Leicester City manager, Craig Shakespeare said that he is impressed with Nigerian international, Wilfred Ndidi’s contribution to the team.

The 20-year-old has established himself as the first choice to partner Danny Drinkwater in City's midfield and his immediate impact on Foxes has surpassed the expectations of even his biggest supporters inside the team’s coaching staff, including the manager Shakespeare.

"He is looking the part," said Shakespeare. "He is a young boy but he has settled in really well. I think he has a huge future in the game.
"There was a lot of interest in him from other clubs but he was high on the list of our recruitment team and, in the end, we did really well to get him. I think he will be a big player for us. He is made-to-measure for this league but he is humble and his personality is suited to our football club. He is easy to manage."

The former Genk Belgium defender has thrived in City's system and style of play, which is all about front foot football. In all their four recent victories, Ndidi's power in the midfield has been key to the success.
