Nigerians Tell Arsenal Not To Sign Declan Rice, Name Super Eagles Star Better Than Him

• Wilfred Ndidi is a Nigerian midfielder who currently plays for Leicester City in the EPL
• Some football fans feel Arsenal's chiefs should sign the Super Eagles star this summer
• They feel the Nigerian would be a better choice than England international Declan Rice

Nigerian fans have appealed to Arsenal's directors to sign Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City instead of signing West Ham United captain, Declan Rice during the summer.

With four games left before the end of the ongoing Premier League season, the Gunners have been linked with a move to sign Rice as they look to bolster their squad for next term.

So far this season, Rice has been one of the best defensive midfielders in the English top flight, with Arsenal not the only side monitoring the England international.

According to reports by Pulse and by Daily Mail, fans are of the view that Ndidi will be the better option for Arsenal.

Price would be a consideration - with the Nigerian more cost-effective than signing Rice for £120 million - and they believe he is a better player.

Why will Ndidi be cheaper?

Ndidi and his teammates at Leicester City are currently battling to escape relegation. They are sitting at 18th on the table and have three more games to play.

Should they be relegated, the transfer value of the Nigerian would drop and the Gunners could lure him to the Emirates Stadium in a cut-price deal.
