Nigerian midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has been nominated for the PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Month for September.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a stellar start to the new season for Leicester City under new manager, Enzo Maresca while playing in a more advanced role than his regular defensive midfield.

He has scored one goal and two assists in 10 appearances for Leicester City, this season. The goal came in Leicester’s 4-1 win over Southampton, which secured him the man of the match award.

Ndidi was nominated along with his teammate Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, both of them helping the Foxes to three league wins during the month, as they seek a quick return to the Premier League.

The other players nominated for the award along with Ndidi and Dewsbury-Hall are Jack Clarke of Sunderland, Liam Lindsay of Preston North End, Morgan Whittaker of Plymouth Argyle and Nathan Broadhead of Ipswich Town.
