Nice:

There was another positive news story for Ranieri, with the performance of his £15m signing Wilfred Ndidi, the Nigerian who needed only two training sessions to convince his new manager that he was ready to start a game. Ndidi, brought in from Genk on Thursday to fill the N’Golo Kanté shaped midfield void, is just 20 years old, but he was Leicester’s standout player.

When he went thigh-to-thigh with Lukaku in a challenge, it was tempting to describe the engagement was an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. The sight of Lukaku being sent sprawling to the floor removed that possibility. The sight of Ndidi dominating his opponents, indeed, must have been a source of frustration for Ronald Koeman.

Yep. Some great breaking up of the play there. That long reaching tackle is key as well. Has potential to be better than Kante IMO as he's more of a goal threat and aerial presence, and younger too. Fantastic buy.
 
Great reaction when the final whistle went last night,
 
Great player. Will definitely fill the Kante void. Great shout by whoever scouted him.

If only Musa was half as good!

I'd rather have the great (Mahrez, Kante, Ndidi) and the less great (Musa, Hernandez, Kaputska) than the middling players that we were used to for a long time.

We really have unearthed some gems over the last few years (assuming Ndidi is as good as he appears).
 
He has definitely improved us as a team. Far more defensive protection.

I think N'Didi is a terrific talent. However, he's far from the finished article and does make two or three mistakes per game. Ideally, we should have a three in midfield to both protect him a bit and also enable him to get forward more because I think he could score 8-10 a season too.

I agree but I also believe he has added a huge amount to our team. He is far more dynamic than Amartey (and I like Daniel) and he also has much better anticipation. His leap is also incredible and I think he will soon score a goal with his head. If he is nurtured carefully he will be a top player.
