Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has reached an impressive milestone, playing his 200th game in the English Premier League for Leicester City.
The Nigerian international hit this landmark during Leicester’s thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Southampton last weekend.
Signed from Belgian side Racing Genk in January 2017, Ndidi made his Premier League debut against Chelsea on January 14, 2017.
Since then, he has established himself as a key player for the Foxes, renowned for his defensive solidity and tireless work rate in midfield.
Ndidi’s contributions have been vital in Leicester's successes, including their FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs.

He also joins an elite group of Nigerian players to reach 200 Premier League appearances, ranking ninth among the likes of Shola Ameobi, Nwankwo Kanu, and Mikel Obi.
