According to football statistics website Whoscored.com, the Nigeria international has made 394 tackles to place first ahead of former Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye (302) and Chelsea's World Cup winner N'Golo Kante (263).
Ndidi recorded 68 tackles during the 2016-2017 season, 138 in his first full season, 143 in the 2018-2019 season and has won 45 tackles in nine appearances for Leicester City so far this season.
