Ndidi Named Leicester City's Most Valuable Player In The Premier League 2019-2020 Season
Published: April 09, 2020British television sports channel Sky Sports
has unveiled a list of the most valuable player for every Premier
League club in the 2019-2020 season and Nigeria international Wilfred
Ndidi has been chosen as the MVP in the Leicester City squad.
The midfield general has appeared in 23 games in the English top-flight, scoring two goals and was in action for 1,892 minutes.
Of
the six matches Ndidi missed through injury, Brendan Rodgers side
managed to win only once - against Sheffield United on matchday three
when they needed a 70th minute goal from Harvey Barnes to secure all
three points.
Explaining why the Nigerian was
selected, Sky Sports wrote : "Leicester lead the way for counterattacks
this season, a hallmark of their game in recent years.
"The bedrock of their midfield and the key man in launching so many fast breaks is Wilfred Ndidi.
"The
Nigerian is a master of the art of the turnover, regularly winning
possession and springing attacks. His 4.4 tackles per 90 minutes is the
highest in the Premier League this season and significantly higher than
the next-best central midfielder, Oriol Romeu on 3.2.
"Ndidi's
value was further demonstrated by his recent injury absence - a
five-game run that saw the previously high-flying Foxes take only two
points from a possible 15."
