Leicester environment perfect for developing Ndidi

Wilfred Ndidi says that his club made it easy for him to agree on a long term contract.

Ndidi signed a six year contract with Leicester City and he has no doubts about his decision.

The 21-year-old feels it is the best place where he can improve his game. He was the club's young player of the year the past two seasons.

"Honestly, I'm happy because having fans like Leicester fans means a lot to players like me," Ndidi told LCFC TV. "I'm very, very happy about it.

"It gives me a lot of joy, because it's not just me. Supporting the team makes me happy. With them pushing the team, everything goes well and everyone is happy.

"I'm so happy and comfortable with everyone – the coaches, the players, the staff and the people working here. I'm very happy because everyone is friendly.

"As well as playing football, you can also learn a lifestyle outside football. I'm happy I'm growing here and I'm really looking forward [to the future].

"I feel welcome here because everyone is friendly. I'm in a place where people love me, encourage me and try to push me. I am so happy I've done this."
