Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi has been rewarded for an outstanding season in England with Leicester City Young Player of the Year award.
The midfielder joined the King Power Stadium outfit in January 2017 and has grown into an essential part of the team.
Ndidi impressed in his first Premier League season and was named the club’s best young talent in 2016-17.
And he has gone one better this season, beating Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray to take the award for the second time.
