Tranfers: Ndidi Speaks On Leicester City’s Exit

The Super Eagles star has been linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium, but he has shut down those rumours. 

Wilfred Ndidi insists he has no intention of quitting Leicester City as he is enjoying his time with at the club. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to two of Premier League’s topsides, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Nigeria international has been an important player for the Foxes since he joined them from Genk in 2017.

This season, Ndidi is playing an essential role in Brendan Rodgers side surge in the Premier League table. The Foxes are currently third on the table with Ndidi playing an important part.

The former Genk star is known for breaking up attacking play which is why he is joint second as the player with most interceptions in the Premier League this season.

He’s also the base that sets up Leicester City’s attack. As a result of his impressive performances, top clubs like Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly interested in Ndidi’s services.

But the Nigeria international insists he intends to honour his contract, which he just extended till 2024.

“We are doing well, and I am enjoying myself here,” Ndidi told ESPN.

“I still have a contract with Leicester. I am learning and trying to improve myself every day, and I am doing OK here, so no need to go anywhere.”

Ndidi made 29 appearances for Leicester and scored two goals before the season was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.
