In a thrilling match between Leicester City and Ipswich Town, Wilfred Ndidi played for fifty-six minutes before being substituted by Enzo Maresca.
Soccernet.ng reports that Leicester City is considering a 19-year-old Belgian defensive midfielder as a potential replacement for Ndidi if a new contract cannot be reached. Ndidi, who is 27 years old, has been a key player in the Leicester City midfield since joining the club in 2017. However, with his contract expiring next summer and no talks of a renewal, transfer speculation is rampant.
Numerous clubs, including Barcelona, Galatasaray, and Sevilla, as well as Tottenham Hotspur, have been linked to Ndidi, and in just five days, he will be able to negotiate pre-contract deals with other teams.
Caught Offside reports that Leicester has their eye on Royal Antwerp midfielder Pierre Dwomoh as a potential replacement for Ndidi. Dwomoh, also 19 years old, is a Belgian defensive midfielder of Ghanaian descent. He has had a successful season with RWDM, scoring two goals and providing an assist while on loan from Royal Antwerp. His estimated price tag is around €5 million, which should be affordable for the Championship team.
Despite the uncertainty, Ndidi has remained a consistent presence in the Leicester City lineup and is focused on helping the team secure a return to the topflight with their current position at the top of the table.
