What do we think?
Ndidi arrived at the King Power Stadium back in January 2017 for £15m from Belgian side Genk. According to TransferMarkt.co.uk, the player is now valued at £40.5m and that in itself gives you an indication of his progress in the past couple of seasons. The 23-year-old had shown flashes in the past but Brendan Rodgers’ coaching appears to have enhanced the midfielder further making him one of the Premier League’s most highly-rated midfield players.
The Nigerian is constantly been linked with a move away with a number of the Premier League’s big clubs said to be interested but Rodgers was very clear last week that no players would be sold during the upcoming transfer window. The Foxes may face a battle keeping hold of Ndidi in the summer but for the time being, he is fully committed to the cause.
