Wilfred Ndidi Named Premier League’s Best Midfielder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi has been named Premier League’s most successful all-round holding midfielder by former Arsenal star Adrian Clarke.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners legend believes the Nigerian international is the Foxes midfield anchor holding Leicester City in place.<\/p>\n

He further noted that while Jamie Vardy is Leicester\u2019s and the Premier League\u2019s top scorer, it is Ndidi who should be regarded as their most important player.<\/p>\n

\u201cNdidi efficiently breaks up play and recovers possession, which allows Leicester\u2019s manager to be ambitious with his team selections.<\/p>\n

\u201dWithout Ndidi\u2019s qualities as that sole midfield pivot, Rodgers may not have the confidence to also pick two attacking full-backs and twin attacking midfielders.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of Ndidi\u2019s greatest strengths is his uncomplicated style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 23-year-old largely stays in the middle third of the pitch and is rarely caught out of position.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis choice of distribution is also incredibly disciplined. \u201cMoving the ball with metronomic proficiency, Ndidi evenly shares out his passes to the six team-mates closest to him on the pitch,\u201d Clarke was quoted as saying to premierleague.com.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Ndidi joined Leicester from Genk in January 2017 and has successfully exhibited loads of selfless work in his position as the defensive midfielder in Brendan Rodgers\u2019 4-1-4-1 formation.<\/p>\n
