Nigeria interim head coach Austine Eguavoen believes Leiceter City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi can do more for the team.
Ndidi has been one of the consistent performers for Leicester City since arriving from Belgian Pro League club KRC Genk in January 2017.
The 25-year-old is also an important player for Nigeria, but Eguavoen believes the midfielder can do far more than he is doing but “he’s holding back”.
“When I see Wilfred Ndidi in midfield, he’s not 100% like (Sunday) Oliseh, but I think he can be one of the best defensive midfielders in the world,” Eguavoen said in a special YouTube presentation detailing the philosophy of Nigeria football.
“He’s holding back, as far as I am concerned, I have spoken to him twice, but I don’t know why.
“He can do better than what he’s doing because he has a lot of potential.”
