His impressive form has continued this term, where he currently sits third in the tackling charts with 91 to his name, despite missing six of City’s 29 matches.

Anaedoonline.com reported that Former Nigeria international Daniel Amokachi has said the duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Victor Osimhen are good enough to make the Super Eagles 1994 World Cup squad.
Amokachi in an interview said Ndidi and Osimhen have been outstanding for Leicester City and Lille respectively this season.
Ndidi has made 29 appearances in all competitions for the Foxes this campaign, netting two goals with one assist.
“If there is a player from the current Super Eagles team who I believe will make the 1994 squad, it is Ndidi,” Amokachi said.
“Ndidi is one player who will fit into the team. He is very solid in the midfield and we all can see how important he is for Leicester.
The Eagles 1994 World Cup squad is regarded as the greatest team to come out of Nigeria.
