Leicester City manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy has once again stressed the significance of Wilfred Ndidi, the Nigerian midfielder for the Super Eagles, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Ndidi made his return for the Foxes during their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford, scoring Leicester's only goal in the match.

Ahead of the upcoming crucial clash against Arsenal on Saturday, Van Nistelrooy emphasized the importance of the combative midfielder.

“It starts with the character of the person, which is excellent. Then there’s the leadership, his arrival in the box, which you saw at United,” Van Nistelrooy said during a press conference.

“He has an enormous impact on and off the pitch. His complete package has lifted the team.”
