Wilfred Ndidi ‘ Happy’ To Remain At Leicester City Amid Interest From Bigger Outfits

Super Eagles Defensive Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi says he is ‘happy’ at his current club Leicester City as he isn’t interested in leaving the Midlands based outfit amid interest from some of the best sides in England.

With growing interest from the duo of Arsenal and Manchester Unted according to reports, the 2019 Total African Cup Of Nations bronze medalist doesn’t see the need to leave, as he is doing well at the King Power

The Nigeria star told ESPN: “We are doing well and I am enjoying myself here. I still have a contract with Leicester.

“I am learning and trying to improve myself every day and I am doing okay here so no need to go anywhere.”

Asked about what made Leicester such an attractive proposition these days, Ndidi, who signed a new six-year deal with Leicester back in 2018, said it was down to boss Brendan Rodgers.

He said Rodgers holds personal meetings with each player and that they have been key to his development.

Ndidi suggested that attention to detail and commitment is lacking at other clubs and forms another part of the reason he wants to stay in the Midlands.

He said: “It’s the Brendan Rodgers effect. With him, it is not just about the 11 players and subs. Even the players in the Under-23s, he carries everybody along.

“So there is always space for anybody to fill in and to play. He is that kind of coach that always believes in the squad and not just one player. The main thing is the squad, the squad comes first.

“The fact that he trusts and tries to improve the players is one thing. It is very difficult for a manager to come in and then dedicate himself to improving players, getting regular one on one meetings with players to help them make improvements.

“This is professional football, some teams won’t have that time for you to do all that.

“Everybody just focuses on the business, they’re paying you for it and expect you to do the work. But Rodgers is different, very different.”

Since his arrival from Belgian Jupiler League side Genk for £15 million in 2017, the 23 year old has grown in leaps and bounds, being a key member of Brendan Rodger’s third placed Foxes. He has made 130 appearance for the club till date.
