Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi is an experienced and greatly talented player, Leicester City boss Claude Puel has said.

Ndidi, 21, has been a mainstay in the Foxes’ team since joining them in January 2017, going on to win the Young Player of the Year for the club for the past two terms.

And Puel is full of praises for the Nigerian, saying he is a great addition to the team.

“We forget that he is just 21, it’s crazy, he is like an experienced player. It’s great to have this sort of player in the team – he gives attitude, spirit and strength,” Puel said on Friday.

“He is comfortable with the ball and passes well. He has the capacity to take information and play forward. It’s great to have this player in the team.”
