SAN FRANCISCO, May 29, (THEWILL) – Nigerian midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, says he was intimidated by N’Golo Kante’s record at Leicester City FC when he was signed in January 2017, because he wasn’t sure if he was a good replacement for the star, who now plays for Chelsea.

Ndidi made the comments on an Out of Home Podcast via Daily Star, stressing that it wasn’t easy living up to expectation.

“The pressure I had was that they just won the league. Kante left and they were looking for a replacement. Seeing this whole situation, it was very scary for me. I was comfortable at Genk, but it was like an opportunity for me to actually develop in my career.

“It was the right time for me to go because Genk wanted me to progress in my career.

“It was difficult at that time because I had to leave for another country and start afresh.

“Even during training, everyone wanted to see what I can do because the person who just left actually made a mark. So, the pressure was just there,” he said.
