Top contenders for the PFA Young Player of the Year

Tottenham Hotspur v West Bromwich Albion - Premier League — The PFA Player of the Year 2016-17

#7 Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City, Age:21)

Ndidi has been ever-present in the Foxes' midfield

The 21-year-old midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, was signed by Leicester City in January 2017 to replace N'Golo Kante, who was the gem in Foxes' title-winning campaign.

After a slow start to life in the Premier League, the Nigerian has settled well into the team this season.

Ndidi has been a rock in Leicester's midfield, shielding the defense excellently and proving as an effective outlet going forward.

The young midfielder's excellent performances have caught the attention of the big boys, who might line up to prize him away at the end of the season.
