FootballEnglish Premier League Club Leicester City Line Up Fresh Contract for Impressive Super Eagles Star
- Wilfred Ndidi joined English Premier League club Leicester City back in 2017 and he is already spending his sixth year with them
- The impressive Nigerian footballer has attracted interest from English clubs Manchester United, as well as Aston Villa
- Leicester City are now working on offering a renewed contract to the Super Eagles star in order to keep him at the King Power Stadium
Premier League club Leicester City are desperate in keeping Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi for a longer time as they are prepared to tie him down with another contract.
The Super Eagles star is already in his sixth year at the King Power Stadium and has so far made 162 appearances for the Foxes in the English topflight.
His impressive form has attracted interest from several other clubs with Manchester United and Aston Villa looking at signing the 25-year-old.
Reports from Tribal Football have it that Leicester City are now preparing to offer the Nigerian a new contract.
Ndidi’s contract with Leicester City will lapse in the summer of 2024 as he last renewed his contract with Leicester back in August 2018 when he did not possess the reputation that he has since forged for club and country.
With Leicester already resigned to cashing in on Youri Tielemans this summer, it appears highly unlikely that they will consider any bids for Ndidi during the next transfer window.
Newcastle United chase Zaidu Sanusi
Newcastle United are currently targeting Super Eagles left-back Zaidu Sanusi as the Premier League club aims to start rebuilding its team ahead of next season.
The Magpies are presently battling with relegation in the English top-flight but have already started preparations for the 2022/23 season.
Zaidu Sanusi presently plays for FC Porto in Portugal and has been the first choice left-back since he joined the Portuguese club three years ago.
The Super Eagles defender who still has three years on his current contract with Porto will battle for a starting shirt with current Magpies defenders Matt Ritchie, Matt Target, and Paul Dummet.
