Leicester bought Wilfred Ndidi to replace the chasm left by N'Golo Kante but as each match goes by the evidence stacks up that this previously unknown 20-year-old might one day surpass his predecessor's significant contributions.
In the 2-0 win over Stoke Ndidi scored a wonderful goal from range that scorched through the air, bettering his first fabulous effort in a Leicester shirt against Derby, and provided the defensive coverage and quick transition that is so vital to his side's style.
The £15million Leicester paid Genk in January already appears a excellent use of resources and Craig Shakespeare has revealed that the club beat others in pursuit by virtue of being first to the punch 18 months ago.
