You will have to be well above \u201caverage\u201d to do that because if that is what an average Leicester can do, imagine the things they could achieve when they are actually good.<\/p>\n<p>One cannot deny that a move to a bigger club could open up many a few possibilities for Ndidi and he could indeed become a better player \u2013 like N\u2019Golo Kante; however, there are no guarantees in football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He also feels that Ndidi would be better served at a club like Manchester City, where he could become an even better player than he already is.
