Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi is the highest-paid Super Eagles player in Europe this season, Sports Extra reports.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Foxes from Genk for £17m in 2016, earns £3.9m per annum, (approximately £75,000 a week) according to a study by Spotrac.

Ndidi, barring any last-minute hitch, will play his 100th game for Leicester City in Saturday’s clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium.

He is also the fifth highest earner at Leicester behind Jamie Vardy (£7.28m), Kasper Schmeichel (£6.76m), Johnny Evans (£4.16m) and Adrien Silva (£4.16m).

In second place is Kelechi Iheanacho who earns £60,000 per week (£3.12m). Iheanacho has found regular time hard to come by at Leicester, fueling speculations he may be sent out on loan when the January transfer window reopens.

Alex Iwobi who joined Everton from Arsenal last summer for £40m, pockets £50,000 per week, (£2.6m) making him the third-highest Eagles earner.

Completing the top five are Trabzonspor’s Anthony Nwakaeme and Watford’s Isaac Success. Both earn £32,000 and £30,000 respectively weekly.

In sixth place is former Eagles skipper, Mikel Obi, who earns £30,000 per week while the pair of Torino’s Ola Aina and Kenneth Omeruo take home £20,000 weekly each.

William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun complete the top 10 list with weekly earnings of £19,500 and £18,269 respectively.

That's the fruit of hard work

Good for him

He is also our best and most consistent in Europe for the past four seasons or so.


He deserves it!

He should manage, invest and save before we'll start hearing of kidney failure stories five years from now.

Nigerian actresses on their way to his DM to ask him " have you eaten today dear? " what did you eat" ?

Grace speaks! Ndidi I tap into your blessings. By God's grace some day, me too will be paid in hard currency home or abroad! Amen

One of the top five DM in world football.

And the best in the premier league going by statistics.

He is possibly our only truly world class player.

Hard smartwork. Not mechanical hardwork.
mechanical hardwork is like driving a wheelbarrow from Lagos to Ibadan. You'll get there o, but it'll be a near death experience.

Impressive.

He's smart...

He's going to University of Leicester now and playing

Na him mony na

He's done well for himself. He deserves it. You can look at the statistics in the premier league since he joined the foxes and he has been phenomenal in tackles won.

Ndidi is either the highest for tackles won and ball recoveries or the first runner-up for the past 3 seasons. And hey he does everything in complete silence. Staying away from controversy. A true role model.

Hope you have also invested because we don't want also kidney stories five years later too

I love this guy along with Osimhen, Chukwueze and Omeruo. I think they will be the foundation of the team that will finally bring Nigeria glory on the world stage. But of them all, I think Osimhen has the brightest prospects. it will be Osimhen to become the most expensive very soon.
