Ndidi Happy To Win Leicester Young Player Award

Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has expressed his excitement at winning the club’s Young Player of the Year award for the second consecutive time.

Ndidi saw off competition from Ben Chilwel and Demarai Gray to win the award which was announced at the club’s annual award night at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

“I feel great. It’s a proud moment for me. I’m very happy about it,” Ndidi told the Leicester City TV channel.

“Kudos to the fans for their support. They have been fantastic since I came here.

“We have had a lot of ups and downs this season but it’s good that we are safe.”

The Super Eagles star was also nominated for the Players’ Player of the Year and Player of the Year awards but lost to England centre-back Harry Maguire.

Ndidi has made a huge impact for the Foxes, making 33 Premier League appearances for Claude Puel’s side this season with four assists to his name.

The player who was injured in last Saturday’s EPL clash against Crystal Palace is looking forward to replicate the same form for the Super Eagles at the FIFA World Cup in Russia in June.
