Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi is Premier League’s top tackler

The Nigeria international has finished the season as the top tackler in the English top-flight ahead of Idrissa Gueye and Aaron Wan-Bissaka

He was on parade for 67 minutes before making way for Shinji Okazaki in his side’s 0-0 draw against Chelsea.
In the just-concluded season, Ndidi made 144 tackles, ahead of Gueye’s 143 and Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s 128.

Since his move from Genk, the 22-year-old has been outstanding in the English top-flight. In his first season, he topped the tacklers’ chart with 138 tackles and in the process was named Leicester’s Young Player of the Year for the 2017/18 season.

He has also made history by becoming the first player to lead the top of tackle charts for two consecutive seasons.
