“Despite his age, he has shown a lot of maturity especially in his position as a defensive midfielder, a difficult position at that.
“The most important thing is for him to maintain the form that has gotten him this far in his career. If he had been an European, he would have been getting better ratings across the world”
Former Tanzania national team coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, also says before the current lockdown, Ndidi has shown maturity significantly.
Amuneke added that the player should not find it difficult to get a bigger club soon while advising him to take the huge step forward.

Meanwhile, a journalist, executive head studios and outside broadcast Multichoice Nigeria, Felix Awogu, has tipped Ndidi as the future captain of the Super Eagles if he continues to perform well.
“He is a future Super Eagles captain for sure. Ndidi has become the standout performer in Leicester city but beyond his performance on the field of play, his reserved attitude off the pitch, he reminds me of the Yoruba word “ omoluwabi” respectful, quiet, educated and loyal to family and country. He is not the type you see or hear about everywhere. He has always remained respectful and responsible which is good for him and his team.”
