Super Eagles and Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi,
has finished the 2018/2019 English Premier League season as the top tackler,
ahead of Everton’s Idrissa Gueye.
Ndidi played for 67 minutes in the Foxes’ last game of the
season against Chelsea, before he was replaced by Shinji Okazaki.
In the just-concluded season, Ndidi made 144 tackles, ahead
of Gueye’s 143 and Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s 128.
In his first season after moving from Genk, the 22-year-old
topped the tacklers’ chart with 138 tackles and in the process was named
Leicester’s Young Player of the Year for the 2017/18 season.
Ndidi has now made history by becoming the first player to
