Ndidi left the King Power Stadium as a free agent at the end of last season and quickly became one of the most sought-after players, with interest from several top clubs.

Barcelona, Sevilla, Juventus, and Everton were among the teams linked with the midfielder, who impressed last season by contributing four goals, five assists, and maintaining an 82% pass accuracy across 32 league appearances, helping Leicester return to the EPL.

His strong defensive skills combined with his progressive play make him a valuable asset.

Recent reports suggest the former Genk player is set to return to Leicester.

“Wilfred Ndidi had all the makings of a good deal for OM, OL, and AS Monaco. At the end of his contract with Leicester, the 27-year-old Nigerian international midfielder was inclined to discover a new environment and opened the door wide to Ligue 1,” the website wrote.

“Despite discussions with the clubs mentioned above, the man with 57 caps for the Super Eagles is not expected to cross the Channel this summer and for good reason.

“According to our information, Ndidi has reached an agreement with the Foxes for a contract extension. Good news for Leicester who will be able to count this season on a player who has been playing for 7 and a half years in the former club of Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kanté.”

While there has been no official announcement about his contract extension from the club or Ndidi’s camp, the player has been tipped to remain in England, with Everton seriously interested in signing him as a replacement for Amadou Onana, who has been heavily linked with a potential exit from Goodison Park.
