The Nigeria star and his spouse welcomed the arrival of their first child on Friday
Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi has announced the birth of his baby girl on Friday.

The 23-year-old took to Instagram to share the good news and revealed the girl will be called Jaina.

A year ago after the 2018-19 Premier League season, Ndidi tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend Dinma Fortune in an elaborate ceremony in Abuja which had his Leicester City teammate Kelechi Iheanacho and other close friends in attendance.

The Nigeria international has established himself as a rock in the Foxes’ midfield since he arrived in England from Belgian outfit Genk in January 2017.

Ndidi is renowned for his ball-winning skills and combative displays in the middle of the park, and he is ranked as one of the top tacklers in the Premier League in the past two seasons.

Before the suspension of football in England, the 23-year-old made 23 league appearances for Brendan Rodgers' side with two goals to his name in the Premier League in this campaign.

Since his debut outing against DR Congo in an international friendly in October 2015, Ndidi has played 36 matches for Nigeria, and he was a member of Gernot Rohr's team that won bronze at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
