Trevor Sinclair said he believes Wilfred Ndidi is among the best in Europe, adding that the Leicester City dressing room appreciate the midfielder’s value despite not being a headline maker.
Ndidi produced another terrific display for ‘The Foxes’ as they secured a place in the FA Cup semi-final courtesy of a fine victory over Manchester United at the weekend.
Ndidi’s reputation continues to grow following a string of fine performances and Sinclair, who was talking to Talksport, feels that while the Nigeria star sneaks under the radar, his impact cannot be questioned.
“I actually looked at Ndidi and thought there are not many better than him in the Premier League and probably in Europe,” he remarked.
“Really good player very probably underrated, undervalued. But I wouldn’t have thought he’s undervalued by Brendan and his team-mates because I’m sure they appreciate everything that he brings to that team. He makes them tick.”
Rodgers recently lavished praise on Ndidi and his contribution to ‘The Foxes’ since arriving at the club in 2017.
Amid concerns the player is now starting to drift onto the transfer radar of other clubs, ‘The Foxes’ boss said: “He’s one of the top players in world football. His quality in his football is improving all the time. He is irreplaceable for us. He’s fantastic for a young player.
“What is pleasing as a coach, is that he wants to learn. He will improve and get better. I’m so happy he plays in my team.”
