EFL CHAMPIONSHIP: Ndidi Is Ecstatic About His New Role at Leicester City

Wilfred Ndidi 

After a decline in form the previous season, the Nigerian is again flourishing under Italian boss Enzo Maresca.

Ndidi is now playing in an advanced position instead of his customary defensive midfield position for Maresca.

The player has recovered his previous state as a result of the change.

Ndidi has scored three goals and provided one assist for the Foxes thus far this season across all competitions.

The 26-year-old said he is loving his new position.

"It's been good, it's the other side of my game," Ndidi told BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling Podcast.

"As a child growing up I've always been a central defender and then turning into a number six and now enjoying the number eight position.

"It's just the way I am, having an open mind to play any position I can possibly play on the pitch. Just trying to enjoy football, be myself and enjoy football."
