Ashleigh Plumptre: Leicester City Women's star keen to meet ‘role models’ Iheanacho, Ndidi and play for Nigeria

The 23-year-old has revealed her ambition of switching her allegiance to the West Africans and meeting the Super Eagles stars

Leicester City Women's defender Ashleigh Plumptre has expressed her desire to meet with Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi, who play for the men’s team while also revealing her interest to play for Nigeria.

The 23-year-old is currently having her second spell with the Foxes and in the 2020-21 season, she helped the club to win the FA Women's Championship title, earning a two-year contract for her fine showings in the campaign.

Since her return to the Foxes in 2019, she has been unable to link up with Super Eagles stars Iheanacho and Ndidi whom she described as her role models.
