Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi says he is open to playing any role for the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of their AFCON qualifiers games against Libya, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Mainly deployed as a defensive midfielder for Nigeria and at club level in the past two years , he has however moved higher up the pitch where he now plays a more attacking role for Leicester City in the English Premier League.
The role changed happened last season when Leicester were still in the English Championship, and after a successful promotion to the English Premier League he has maintained his role despite a new manager in Steve Cooper replacing Enzo Maresca.
However for the Super Eagles he has only played in that role once , but there is a huge call for the 27 year old to be handed the role in Friday’s game against Libya at the Godswill Akpabio stadium, after his tally of four assists in seven games in the English Premier League this season making him his team top creator.
” I will play anywhere the coaches want me to play. I am pushing for the best of the team and can’t decide for the coaches. If I am played higher up the pitch then it’s the decision of the coach , if otherwise I will still give my all for the team”, he said at yesterday’s session with the media.
