Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are all keen on having 26-year-old Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi in their ranks.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are all interested in acquiring the services of Wilfried Ndidi. The 26-year-old has been one of the mainstays of Leicester City over the past few seasons and there is a lot of interest in his services.
Ndidi joined the Foxes back in the winter of 2017 from KRC Genk. Since making the move to England, the 26-year-old has gone from strength to strength. He has been one of the most important players in that team over the years.
Leicester got relegated from the English top flight after the end of last season. While there was a lot of interest in Ndidi’s services during the summer, the Foxes managed to keep him at the club as they look to push for an immediate return to the top flight.
They have started off in fine fashion with 13 wins out of their 15 Championship games and they are currently four points clear at the top of the table. The 26-year-old midfielder has played a big part in it. He has featured in 12 of those matches and has even contributed towards 4 goals.
While everything has been going according to plan, Ndidi’s contract runs out next summer. As a result, the Foxes do not have too many options to play with. They are looking to extend his stay at the club. But, if they fail to get his signatures, they might have to consider cashing in on him in the winter.
It looks unlikely that the 26-year-old will pen down a new deal with the club. As a result, there is a lot of interest in his services. Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are exploring the possibility of signing him in the winter.
All three clubs have been monitoring him for a while now and they would love to have the Nigerian international in their ranks. Ange Postecoglou is looking to add more depth to his squad after an incredible start to life in England. He feels they need an experienced midfielder in the centre of the park and the 26-year-old could be a great fit.
Even Aston Villa’s Unai Emery is looking for more depth and wants to land the Leicester midfielder at his club. His team are fifth in the Premier League and he feels adding another world-class midfielder will help them take the next step.
As far as Newcastle are concerned, they recently suffered a huge blow as Sandro Tonali has been banned from football for 10 months because of illegal betting. As a result, the Magpies now want to sign a replacement in the winter and Ndidi could be a great acquisition for the club.
While all three English clubs are keen on having him in their ranks, they will have to battle it out with Barcelona for the signatures of the 26-year-old. The Catalan giants might have signed Oriol Romeu to cope with the absence of Sergio Busquets but things haven’t gone according to plan. As a result, the Spanish giants are looking for another defensive midfielder and they feel Ndidi could be a great option to have.
