The Premier League tackle master penned a new six-year deal, thus, shunning interests from top European sides

Wilfred Ndidi has disclosed that the positivity within the ranks at Leicester City made his decision to sign an extension very easy.

Barely a day after grabbing their first win of the season, the midfielder signed a new six-year deal with the Foxes.

Ndidi who joined from Genk in January 2017 has been a mainstay in the side, helping ease Leicester's post-N’Golo Kante era with masterclass performances at the heart of the midfield.

His showings won him two consecutive Young Player of Year awards at the club, as well as admirers from top sides including Liverpool and Arsenal.
