Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has achieved a remarkable milestone, overtaking Nigerian legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha’s record of 10 assists in the Premier League. Ndidi’s two assists in Leicester City’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday brought his total to 12, cementing his place among the top Nigerian players in Premier League history.
Ndidi’s impressive performance has earned him a spot alongside other Nigerian greats, including Nwankwo Kanu, who holds the record of 33 assists, Shola Ameobi (31 assists), Alex Iwobi (30 assists), Kelechi Iheanacho (25 assists), Victor Moses (20 assists), Peter Odemwingie (15 assists), and Victor Anichebe (13 assists).
This achievement showcases Ndidi’s versatility and skill on the pitch, as he was deployed in an attacking midfield role by manager Steve Cooper, resulting in a goal-scoring combination with Jamie Vardy.
Ndidi’s record-breaking feat is a testament to his hard work and dedication, making him a standout player in the Premier League and a source of pride for Nigerian football fans.
