Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are all interested in signing 26-year-old Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are all interested in signing Wilfried Ndidi. The 26-year-old has been a fixture for Leicester City in recent seasons, and there is a lot of interest in his services.
Ndidi joined the Foxes from KRC Genk in the winter of 2017. The 26-year-old has grown from strength to strength since moving to England. Over the years, he has been one of the most essential members of that team.
Leicester City were relegated from the English Premier League at the end of last season. While there was a lot of interest in Ndidi’s services over the summer, the Foxes were able to maintain him as they seek for an immediate return to the top flight.
They have started the season strongly, winning 13 of their first 15 Championship games, and they presently lead the table by four points. The midfielder, 26, has played a significant role in it. He has appeared in 12 of those games and has contributed to four goals.
While everything has been going as planned, Ndidi’s contract expires next summer. As a result, the Foxes don’t have many options to choose from. They intend to extend his tenure at the club. However, if they are unable to obtain his signatures, they may have to consider cashing in on him during the winter.
It appears doubtful that the 26-year-old would sign a new contract with the club. As a result, his services are in high demand. Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are all interested in signing him this winter.
All three teams have been watching him for some time and would love to have the Nigerian international on their team. After an outstanding start to life in England, Ange Postecoglou is looking to add depth to his team. He believes they require an experienced midfielder in the center of the pitch, and the 26-year-old may be an excellent fit.
Unai Emery of Aston Villa is also searching for depth and wants to sign the Leicester midfielder. His side is currently fifth in the Premier League, and he believes that signing another world-class midfielder will help them move forward.
Newcastle had just suffered a major setback after Sandro Tonali was banned from football for ten months for illicit betting. As a result, the Magpies are looking to sign a successor in the winter, and Ndidi may be an excellent signing for the team.
While all three English clubs want him, the 26-year-old will have to compete with Barcelona for his signature. The Catalan giants may have signed Oriol Romeu to cover for Sergio Busquets’ absence, but things haven’t gone as planned. As a result, the Spanish giants are hunting for another defensive midfielder, and Ndidi appears to be a viable possibility.
