Leicester City's Ndidi has 'telescopic legs' - Former Genk boss Maes

Former Genk manager Peter Maes has praised Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi for his strong qualities and attributes, describing him as having "telescopic legs".

The 56-year old tutored the Nigerian as a 19-year old who arrived from Nath Boys Academy in 2015.

He was able to blend in with the first team, making 83 competitive appearances in one season and a half before departing for Leicester City in January 2017.
