Leicester midfielder Choudhury hails Ndidi impact

Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury has hailed the impact of Wilfred Ndidi this season.

The Nigeria international is a firm first-choice for manager Brendan Rodgers.

Choudhury told Sky Sports: "To be honest I think Wilf has had a really good last couple of seasons.

"With us doing so well this season it has brought more attention on what he does but I feel like everyone in the team knows how important he is to us and how effective he is.

"He's still very young - he's only a year older than me - but I do watch his game and try to take bits and try to improve my game and try to improve myself.

"I feel like we're both looked at as destroying type of midfielders, winning the ball back and playing it simple, playing forward and keeping the ball going. I feel like I've got that in my game but I feel like I need to improve and I want to improve on the attacking side and driving with the ball forward and creating some chances as well."
