Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has committed his future with Premier League side Leicester City for six year until 2024.
Ndidi has played 63 times for the Foxes since joining from Belgian side Genk in a £14m deal in January 2017, scoring four goals in the process.
The 21-year-old, Leicester’s Young Player of the Year in each of the last two campaigns, also featured for Nigeria in this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
Ndidi has played in every minute of their two Premier League matches so far this season – the 2-1 defeat at Manchester United and Saturday’s 2-0 victory at home to Wolves – and he has now been rewarded with a long-term deal.
“I’m very happy to sign this contract with Leicester City,” Ndidi told the club’s official website. “I have enjoyed every moment of my time with the football club, so I’m thrilled to be here for six more years.
