Wilfred Ndidi is the best ball-winner in Europe

ESPN’s Ryan O'Hanlon uses TruMedia’s research tool to explore how Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi is the best ball-winner in Europe’s top leagues:

“Leicester average more possession than all but 13 teams across England, Italy, Spain and Germany's top flights. Part of that is because [Wilfred] Ndidi is able to keep winning them the ball back, but that also means there are fewer opportunities for him to make defensive plays. TruMedia, though, offers defensive statistics that normalise possession for every 1,000 opponent touches. Ndidi is averaging 7.33 tackles and 4.74 interceptions per 1,000 opponent touches. Both marks are top in the four aforementioned leagues.”
