Nigeria’s Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has been ranked the top interceptor in Europe’s top five leagues comprising of the Premier League, La Liga, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A and French Ligue 1.
According to Whoscored.com, the Leicester City midfielder has made the most interceptions in Europe’s top five leagues so far this season, fifteen in total.
What makes it more impressive is the fact that the Foxes number 25 has played just four games, having missed the trip to Sheffield United due to a hamstring complaint.
Against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the opening day of the season, the Nath Boys product racked up a game-high five interceptions and had another game-high figure (4) vs Chelsea the following weekend.
He made four interceptions against Bournemouth and had two against Manchester United in the last round of matches.
Ndidi will be looking to add to his stats on Saturday when Leicester City welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the King Power Stadium.
