Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi has ground in leaps and bound in recent years as we have seen on the pitch.

Moving to Premier League side Leicester City from one of the Belgian top clubs Racing Genk was more like climbing a ladder for the player as he was already a hit in Belgium.

Prior to his switch to the Foxes, he scored an incredible goal which was adjudged one of the best goals of the season in Belgium.

All this and many are Wilfred Ndidi’s story as we take a look at why he’s a genuine candidate for Super Eagles captaincy.

His Consistency on the Pitch

The player has got an impressive statistics as is evident for both club and country.

His ever dependence and reliability on the pitch and rightly occupying in the midfield pivot makes him a candidate for responsibility in the future.

We all know that a captain needs consistency in their game to make starting eleven on a consistent basis and this is what Ndidi has done despite the array of budding talents in Nigeria and Leicester City, to say the least at the moment.

Growing Reputation

Wilfred’s net worth has been on the rise in the last couple of months as he continues to shine for Leicester City in EPL.

This has seen the player ranked among the highest Nigerian player based on financial terms while the player keeps his head down and is not looking back on former achievements with hope for the future.

Such quality and aspiration from the player are what the Super Eagles needs going forward even as we crave for the Super Eagles to return its glory days.

Man of the Match Contender

Nigeria is obviously blessed with talents in the country with the scope spreading far and near.

The Super Eagles side have got a lot of quality going forward on their own.

However, a certain player Wilfred Ndidi makes himself a suitable choice for accolades on the Nigerian shirt.

Despite players like Alex Iwobi, Samuel Kalu and Samuel Chukwueze to name but a few, Ndidi had caught the eye many times to swoop man of the match awards.

This is what Super Eagles are made of even as the team needs quality and class in references to a player who can be exemplary on the pitch for the team like Wilfred Ndidi.
