Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, just recently signed a contract extension that will keep him with the Foxes for another six years (2024).
Ndidi who joined Leicester City (LCFC) from Belgian side KRC Genk in January 2017 has been quite remarkable on the ball for LCFC, completing more tackles than any other player in the Premier League.
The Super Eagles man who was linked with Liverpool and Arsenal towards the end of last season stated that the immense support he has received from the Foxes since his arrival is one of the major reasons why he decided to commit the next six years of his life to the club.
“Honestly, I’m happy because having fans like Leicester City’s means a lot to a player like me. I’m very, very happy about it.
“It gives me a lot of joy because it’s not just me. Supporting the team makes me happy. With them pushing the team, everything goes well and everyone is happy.
“I’m so happy and comfortable with everyone – the coaches, the players, the staff and the people working here. I’m very happy because everyone is friendly.
“As well as playing football, you can also learn a lifestyle outside football. I’m happy I’m growing here and I’m really looking forward [to the future].
“I feel welcome here because everyone is friendly. I’m in a place where people love me, encourage me and try to push me. I am so happy I’ve done this.” Ndidi told LCFC TV.
