EPL: 'No Need To Go Anywhere' - Ndidi On Arsenal, Manchester United Interest

 

Leicester City of the English Premier League (EPL) and Super Eagles of Nigeria midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has said that for him, there is "no need to go anywhere" as he is 'enjoying himself' in the East Midlands.

Allnews reports that since joining The Foxes in 2017 from Genk of Belgium, the 23-year-old has grown to become one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League.

The Gunners and The Red Devils are believed to be among multiple suitors.

However, the Leicester City star is not thinking of exiting the King Power Stadium anytime soon.

"We are doing well and I am enjoying myself here. I still have a contract with Leicester," Ndidi told ESPN recently.

"I am learning and trying to improve myself every day and I am doing okay here so no need to go anywhere."

Leicester City are third on the EPL log. Ndidi credits Coach Brendan Rodgers for their impressive performances this season.

"It's the Brendan Rodgers effect," he said.

"With him, it is not just about the 11 players and subs. Even the players in the Under-23s, he carries everybody along.

"So there is always space for anybody to fill in and to play. He is that kind of coach that always believes in the squad and not just one player. The main thing is the squad, the squad comes first.

"That is why we are doing very well, because we understand that we must always try our best. Where we are is because we work hard and try to improve all."

Furthermore, Ndidi praised the influence Rodgers has had on him individually, adding: "No disrespect to other managers but kudos to Brendan Rodgers. He has done a lot of work on me. I remember the Chelsea game when (Mason) Mount took the ball from me and scored? That day made me a better player.

"The manager and the staff spoke to me. They made me understand what to do better and made me take it as a habit to do certain things, but he encouraged me to continue to play my game.

"The fact that he trusts and tries to improve the players is one thing. It is very difficult for a manager to come in and then dedicate himself to improving players, getting regular one-on-one meetings with players to help them make improvements.

"This is professional football, some teams won't have that time for you to do all that. Everybody just focused on the business, they're paying you for it and expect you to do the work. But Rodgers is different, very different."
