Ndidi will add more solidity and dynamism to Crystal Palace’s midfield as he is capable of shielding the defence as well as influencing the game in the final third as he is showing for Leicester City this season.

The Foxes must already be ruing the possible departure of the Nigerian midfielder, particularly because he would leaving for free.
