Ndidi, Atiemwen shoots to top of Europa League Player Rankings

Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi is now the most outstanding Nigeria player in the UEFA Europa League, while little known Iyayi Atiemwen has crashed into the Top-3.

Ndidi scored 2903 points to be the No 1 Nigeria player in the Europa League after Leicester City held Slavia Prague to a goalless draw Thursday night.

This comes after Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers showered praise on the highly-rated defensive midfielder.

Slavia Prague forward Peter Olayinka is now the second most impressive Nigeria star in the competition with 1154 points, while Atiemwen, who scored the winner for Dinamo Zagbreb at Krasnodar in Russia, is third with 1020 points.

Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City) and Samuel Chukwueze (Villarreal CF) have featured in the Top-3 Nigeria stars in the Europa League previously.
