Crystal Palace, Everton, West Ham United plot summer move for Wilfred Ndidi

A host of Premier League sides are keeping close tabs on the situation of Wilfried Ndidi, who is set to leave Leicester City.

According to Tutto Juve, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Everton are among those keeping tabs on Wilfried Ndidi. The 27-year-old soon-to-be free midfielder will leave Leicester City at the end of his contract in the summer, as those Premier League sides sense an opportunity.

Premier League trio keen on Wilfried Ndidi

Wilfried Ndidi has been a tremendous presence for Leicester City over the years, and he has been essential for them this season in the Championship. The Foxes are strongly vying for an automatic promotion place as things are in their hands ahead of the last phase of the domestic season.

Irrespective of their fate for next season, the Foxes are set to lose a number of their experienced stars, including 27-year-old soon-to-be free midfielder Wilfried Ndidi. The defensive star will leave the club at the end of his deal in the summer, with a host of Premier League sides including West Ham United, Everton and Crystal Palace keen.

The English trio are eager to bring the experienced midfielder to their sides, as they are keen to build squad depth in that area. For Everton, it might be the case of replacing Amadou Onana rather than adding to their squad. West Ham’s case might be different, as they are certainly looking to add depth and could view Ndidi as someone to replace Kalvin Phillips.

Crystal Palace are also in danger of losing Cheick Doucoure, with the Malian likely to emerge in the market as a big target for top clubs. As for Ndidi, the 27-year-old soon-to-be free midfielder’s price point is crucial in the accumulated interest in his services, as clubs will mind the PSR obligations and look to make this bargain signing as soon as possible.

Ndidi is another one that Leicester will lose

Ndidi also has the interest of Tottenham and Newcastle United, and the midfielder might be one of the many Leicester have lost over the years. The Foxes were once praised for their transfer strategy, which saw them acquire many emerging players and sell them for massive profits.

In recent times, they have lost a host of players on the cheap or a free transfer, with Youri Tielemans’ name striking first in this conversation. Come to the summer window, they could lose Ndidi alongside Compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho on free transfers, which only adds to the long list of essential players the Foxes have not managed well over the years.
