Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has been nominated for Leicester City's Goal of the Month award for August, competing alongside Jamie Vardy, Jordan Ayew, and four other players. This recognition comes after Ndidi's standout performance in Leicester's dominant 4-0 win against Tranmere Rovers during the Carabao Cup's second round.
Ndidi's goal, which was scored in the 71st minute, showcased his excellent technique and teamwork. After a smart interplay involving Ayew and Harry Winks, Ndidi skillfully evaded his defender to calmly slot the ball into the back of the net. His effort was one of the highlights of Leicester's performance last month, earning him a place among the contenders for the monthly honor.
Among the other nominees is Jamie Vardy, whose pinpoint header in Leicester's Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur caught the attention of fans and critics alike. Additionally, Jordan Ayew's powerful finish during the same Carabao Cup match against Tranmere Rovers was also recognized for its quality.
The competition for Goal of the Month extends to Leicester’s development squad as well, with Chris Popov's strike against Southampton in Premier League 2 making the shortlist. His goal was noted for its impressive execution, demonstrating the talent within the club's younger ranks.
Other notable nominations include Harry Winks' goal against Tranmere and Facundo Buonanotte's volley during Leicester's narrow 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. Wout Faes' impressive goal in the Foxes' defeat to Fulham also made the cut, completing a diverse list of contenders for the award.
Under the leadership of new manager Steve Cooper, Wilfred Ndidi has remained a crucial player for Leicester City. Since the start of the season, Ndidi has been ever-present on the pitch, playing every minute of every game for the Foxes, further highlighting his significance to the team.
Ndidi’s consistent performances have cemented his role as a key figure for Leicester City as the club looks to build on its momentum under Cooper’s guidance.
