Leicester City is working on securing new contracts for Nigerian International pair Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho. However, there is a looming concern that the duo could depart in January if deals cannot be agreed.
According to reports from Daily Mail, Leicester may not be very active during the January transfer window, but there is talk of potentially strengthening a certain area of their squad. The main focus remains on keeping Ndidi and Iheanacho at the club, as both players have been linked with moves away.
The situation is concerning to the Foxes, as both players’ contracts expire in the summer, leading to a lot of speculation about their futures. Ndidi has been mentioned in discussions with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, while Iheanacho is also attracting interest.
Former England international Carlton Palmer is of the opinion that Leicester may sell the duo in January if they cannot agree on new contracts before then. This strategy aims to prevent losing the players for free in June. However, with the team performing well and in a strong position for an immediate return to the Premier League, there may be a chance to persuade the players to stay.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their futures, both Ndidi and Iheanacho have been important players for Leicester. Ndidi has been influential in midfield, while Iheanacho has made valuable contributions in attack. It remains to be seen whether Leicester can secure their long-term futures at the club.
