Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Wilfred Ndidi as a potential January transfer target, reports Teamtalk. The Leicester City midfielder’s contract is due to expire at the end of the season, raising the possibility of losing him on a free transfer next summer if a new deal is not reached or a transfer is not arranged during the winter window. Despite Ndidi’s importance to Enzo Maresca’s side, Spurs’ pursuit is fueled by their position as contenders in the Premier League title race under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou. The impending January interest has prompted discussion about Ndidi’s future among FLW writers.
Declan Harte notes the midfielder’s recent resurgence after a challenging period and suggests that a move to a club like Tottenham could be appealing for Ndidi, given the exciting project at the London club. With Leicester’s strong league position and squad depth, Harte believes that selling Ndidi in January for a fee in the range of £10-15 million might be a feasible option to prevent losing him for free in the summer. On the other hand, despite the potential loss, Harte believes that Ndidi’s departure would not be detrimental as long as the club secures a suitable replacement in the winter window.
In a similar vein, another FLW writer highlights Ndidi’s rejuvenation and the potential benefits of his addition to the Spurs squad. The writer also emphasizes Leicester’s tricky situation regarding Ndidi’s contract, suggesting that the club should be proactive in securing a replacement if they opt to part ways with the midfielder. Ultimately, while Ndidi’s departure may not be ideal, it is implied that Leicester has the means to mitigate the impact and move forward effectively.
