The Nigeria international has been a key player at the King Power Stadium with his dominant displays in midfield, and his tackling abilities which rank him as one of the best in England.
“It will be a plus to us as players, in our careers, if we can play in the Champions League. But it is something we have to work for,” Ndidi told Football Daily.
Out of the 25 appearances he's made in the Premier League this season, the Super Eagles midfielder averages 3.8 tackles per game, 2.7 interceptions per game and 2.2 clearances per match.
“It is not about what we have done in past matches. These eight games remaining, it is important for us to actually fight hard and pick the Champions League ticket.
The Foxes are yet to win a match since the Premier League resumed after the coronavirus hiatus, settling for back-to-back draws in the last two games
Wilfried Ndidi has urged his Leicester City teammates to keep fighting to secure qualification for next season’s Uefa Champions League.
“It is something we have to work for, we have to stay there. If we do our best and get the points, then we will get there.”
Ndidi made his Champions League debut with the Foxes in February 2017, a month after joining them on a five-year contract from Belgian outfit Genk.
He played against Sevilla in the Round of 16 and then played against Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals, with the Spanish side knocking them out after a 2-1 aggregate win.
