Super Eagles ' chief coach, Salisu Yusuf has revealed that with the large followership the English Premier League has in Nigeria, it would be a career lift if Wifried Ndidi gets the breakthrough to move to England. Yusuf informed that it is the desire of the senior national team's technical crew to have Nigerians play in Europe's elite league and that Ndidi's impending move to England is far better than Belgium where he presently plays.

“I will advise Ndidi to go England because the EPL is better with more followership in Nigeria than the Belgian league," Yusuf told Goal. "Ndidi is a good player and I believe he will succeed there. Super Eagles’ technical crew is eager to see more Nigerians play in top leagues in Europe and I can say that I am happy about the news linking him to Leicester City. “We need all our players to be in top shape and if Ndidi fulfils his desire to play in England, it will be a big plus to the national team. "He should ensure he gets playing opportunities too so maintain his shirt in the Eagles. The game against Cameroun is only few months away and everything must be in top gear to ensure that we do not lack anything in terms of preparations for the tie.”
