Speaking on the youngster, former Super Eagles left-back Babayaro believes Ndidi is some ways better than N’golo Kante who he came to replace at Leicester.

“There’s a large difference in the way he (Ndidi)  plays and that of Kante,  probably similarities in terms of winning duels,” Babayaro told Own Goal Nigeria.

“But aerially Ndidi is better and a little bit more assured in position and very good at trying his luck from range.

“He is a bit like but not so much, but he looks every inch like Toure in his prime, leggy, strong and shoots a lot.Toure was like that while at .

“Ndidi has improved a lot in the last few months. His ability on and off the ball has greatly improved in England. Most people doubted him but I never did.”

Babayaro was in London over the weekend and hosted by his former club, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
