Wilfred Ndidi will be with Leicester City for a ‘long, long time’, according to manager Craig Shakespeare, after the Nigerian's impressive start to Premier League life raised the prospect of larger clubs circling this summer.
The 20-year-old signed from Genk in a £15million deal during the January window but already looks worth a higher fee due to a series of composed displays as the anchor of Leicester’s midfield.
Leicester beat a number of other clubs to Ndidi’s signature by virtue of firming up their interest first almost 18 months ago, but those same sides my try again now that he has proved his quality.
