Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi has been named Leicester City’s Most Valuable (MVP).

This comes following the player’s star performances for the Foxes at the heart of midfield.

The midfielder played 23 games in the English top-flight, scoring two goals and was in action for 1,892 minutes.

At a point, there were even speculation of his move to Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham.

Unveiling a list of the most valuable player for the Premier League club in the 2019-2020 season, Sky Sport, listed Ndidi as Leicester City’s MVP.

“Leicester lead the way for counterattacks this season, a hallmark of their game in recent years.

“The bedrock of their midfield and the key man in launching so many fast breaks is Wilfred Ndidi.

“The Nigerian is a master of the art of the turnover, regularly winning possession and springing attacks. His 4.4 tackles per 90 minutes is the highest in the Premier League this season and significantly higher than the next-best central midfielder, Oriol Romeu on 3.2.

“Ndidi’s value was further demonstrated by his recent injury absence – a five-game run that saw the previously high-flying Foxes take only two points from a possible 15,” Sky Sports wrote while explaining Ndidi’s selection.
