Leicester eye Wilfred Ndidi’s replacement

Sports Brief previously reported that Leicester City are considering a move for Newcastle star, Sean Longstaff, as a potential replacement for Ndidi.

Longstaff's contract with Newcastle expires in the summer of 2025, which could make him available for a reasonable price in the upcoming transfer window if the Toons decide not to retain him.

The 26-year-old has been a vital player for Eddie Howe's side this season, starting 24 Premier League games and contributing six goals.
