Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi has been voted into Leicester City's Premier League XI.

Ndidi topped the public vote with 40 percent, his nearest challenger Izzet finished with 29 percent while Drinkwater (16 percent) and King (15 percent) were in third and fourth place respectively.

Former Nigeria international Ade Akinbiyi, current Super Eagles players Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho are eligible to be nominated for an attacking position in the Foxes Premier League XI.
Kelvin Etuhu and Yakubu Aiyegbeni will miss out because they played for the King Power Stadium outfit in the Championship and the same applies to goalkeeper Carl Ikeme.
