This one na the first time wey he go dey wear that orange and black jersey since him move from Leicester City just two weeks ago. Na small time he spend for pitch, but e get story to tell!

Under the watchful eye of new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ndidi start the game and manage to play for 70 minutes before dem swap am for Demir Tiknaz. E no no say e go carry small injury come back home, but you know say na how football dey be (you fit just stumble over your own leg). But despite the knock, Ndidi no forget to hail the passionate Besiktas fans wey turn the stadium into one big party!
