This accolade comes courtesy of Ndidi’s established presence in midfield for the 2016 PL  winners, since joining the club from Belgian side, KRC Genk during the 2017 January transfer.

The 21-year-old tops the tackling charts for both the club and PL, having made 138 successful tackles in the PL this season.

The Nigerian midfielder was also in the running for the club’s players’ player of the year award, but lost out on that to eventual winner, central defender, Harry Maguire.
