7) Wilfred Ndidi

Ndidi has grown to become one of the most respected defensive midfielders in the English Premier League since joining from Belgian side Genk. He is currently the 2nd most valuable African player in the Premier League according to CIES.

He is usually a real threat to the oppositions. He combines his physical skill with the ability to be a threat from long range and has also been relatively injury free throughout his young career.

Ndidi has grown to become a force in the midfield as he won most tackles in EPL in his first full season at the club. I guess Leicester finally found their replacement for Kante

He was also named the Foxes young player of the year last season as he played in 33 games and was only subbed off. He played for a total of 2899 minutes, putting him at the top end of that list.
