According to a report by a Nigerian media outlet, Daily Post, Premier League side Everton have made contact with Ndidi's management over the possibility of a summer move.

The Toffees will face stiff competition from teams who have also shown interest in signing the Nigerian midfielder.

Barcelona are at the forefront, with Newcastle United and Juventus also monitoring Ndidi's situation in Leicester City.

Different reports also claimed that the Super Eagles midfielder is yet to decide on his future.

Ndidi has been one of Leicester City's best players this season. On Monday, April 29, the Foxes were crowned the winners of the Sky Bet Championship after thrashing Preston North at the Deepdale Stadium.

The Nigerian international played a crucial role in the Foxes' promotion back to the English Premier League after being relegated last season.
