RacingGenk boss Peter Maes says Wilfred Ndidi deserves his move to Leicester City.
Ndidi will join the Foxes on January 1 after the two clubs settled on a fee earlier this month.
"He's developed very fast," said Maes. "This is the result of an exceptional talent where one and a half years of intensive work was done with him.
"Ndidi deserves this step in his career.
"And everyone who worked with him should be proud."
