Leicester City attacking midfielder James Maddison has hailed  teammate Wilfred Ndidi is the best holding midfielder in the English Premier League.

Maddison, Wilfred Ndidi and Youri Tielemans are the first three midfielders in Foxes team list so far this season and the trio has formed a very good bond and understanding on the pitch.

Ndidi has scored two goals in 12 league appearances has drawn a huge praise from the English midfielder who believed he’s the best holding midfielder in the division.

“I think he’s the best in the Premier League at tackling and winning the ball back, bar none,” Maddison told Football Daily.

“I know (N’Golo) Kante is a brilliant player and there are players like that. But actually winning the ball back and taking the ball off the opposition, I don’t think there is anyone better than Wilfred.

“Sometimes you get a player like that and what he does doesn’t get on the back page of the papers, doesn’t get talked about on Match of the Day.

“He’s fantastic at what he does and he lets players like me and Youri Tielemans do our thing higher up the pitch because we know we’ve got that solidity behind us.”

Leicester City are enjoying a very good productive season, they sits next to leaders Liverpool in the premier league table.
