The Ballers Award have named Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as Nigeria’s Footballer of the Year following a great year with the Foxes and Super Eagles.

The 23-year-old beat Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Odion Ighalo and William Troost-Ekong to the gong, and he has taken to Twitter to share the news, thanking his Leicester and Nigerian teammates:

Its a great privileged to win Nigeria's best footballer of the year. I couldn't have done this by myself, I want to thank my teammates both in the National team and at Leicester City. Thank you to the organisers of The Ballers Awards and all the fans. Thank you
