Super Eagles combative midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, is set to make his 150th Premier League appearance for Leicester City when the Foxes take on champions Manchester City at the King Power Stadium today.
Ndidi joined the Premier League side on Friday after featuring for the Eagles in their 2-0 win over Liberia in a Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier last week.
The Leicester City defensive midfielder moved to Brendan Rodgers’ side in January 2017 from Belgian outfit Genk for a reported £15m.
He made his EPL debut in a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea on January 14, 2017.
In his first season, Ndidi topped the tacklers’ chart with 138 successes and in the process was named Leicester City’s Young Player of the Year for the season.
He repeated that feat the following season after garnering 144 tackles ahead of Idrissa Gueye (143) and Wan-Bissaka (128) – making history by becoming the first African player to lead the top of tackle charts for two consecutive seasons.
