Ndidi decision to stay eases headache for Cooper
Wilfred NdidiWilfred Ndidi's decision to stay at Leicester removes what could have been a large headache for boss Steve Cooper.
There was a degree of expectation, certainly during the course of last season, the midfielder would leave after seven-and-a-half regardless of promotion.
If he can rediscover the form that he showed in his early days at the King Power Stadium where he was their midfield enforcer, it is a coup.
It stops Cooper from searching for a potentially expensive replacement just five weeks before the start of the season, especially having lost Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea already this month.
