Wilfred Ndidi Scout Report

Wilfred Ndidi has proven his mettle for Leicester City in the Championship during the 2023-2024 season. This quick scout report should validate that the Nigerian central midfielder's game has a multi-faceted style of play. He excels particularly as a goal threat where he outperforms 90% of other midfielders in the same league, clearly demonstrating his predatory instincts in the penalty box. His aptitude is further corroborated by strikingly high percentile scores in assists and goals per 90 minutes, and given the chances he creates, it is no surprise to see a healthy rate of assists. Despite being just 27, Ndidi shows remarkable maturity, commanding the lion's share of possession, especially in the attacking third and midfield. Nevertheless, while his touches indicate contributions to xG, xA, shots, and assists, his lower percentile ball retention might hint at a tendency to lose control or make poor decisions. Defensively, Ndidi's fortitude is evidenced by his commendable aerial duel win percentage and interceptions, thus highlighting his exceptional versatility in both attack and defense. However, he noticeably lacks progressive carrying and passing, perhaps due to a playing style leaning towards being direct in attack rather than maintaining possession. His ball recovery and fouls committed stats sit around the average, and he might need to fine-tune his aggressiveness to reduce the risk of bookings, given a considerable percentile in yellow cards. In short, Ndidi brings tremendous value to Leicester City as a goal threat, creator, and midfielder capable of substantial defensive contributions, despite some facets of his game requiring improvement. This Nigerian powerhouse, with his blend of offensive prowess and defensive resilience, is one to keep an eye on in the near future.
