Ndidi pleased with new Leicester deal

By Daily Sports Nigeria on July 13, 2024

Nigerian midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has expressed his excitement over a new deal with English Premier League club Leicester City, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Ndidi says he has “unfinished business” at Leicester City after signing a new three-year contract at King Power Stadium.

Speaking to the club website, the defensive midfielder said, “There have been great memories (at the club) and I’m looking forward to what we are going to create going forward.

“I feel great, I feel excited, I feel at home. That is the most important thing.

“We know this is where we belong. It’s just that unfinished business that we have to continue.”

The former Genk midfielder’s new contract could see him complete 10 years of service at Leicester City, and the Nigerian added: “It was quite an easy decision because my family is settled here, my daughter is going to school.

“It is kind of relaxed because I know that my family is sorted on the other side. It means that I can actually just focus on football.”

Ndidi also revealed he has already spoken to new manager Steve Cooper.

“He shared some good ideas with me. He is a great guy. He is funny. I’m actually looking forward to working with him. It is very exciting,” said the 27-year-old.

“We know the Premier League is where we belong. We will try our best to also keep it that way, because we want to be here and we want to stay here.”

Last season, Ndidi showcased his talent with Leicester City, contributing significantly to their return to the EPL with four goals, five assists, and maintaining an 82% pass accuracy across 32 league appearances. His defensive capabilities, combined with his progressive play, make him a valuable asset.

Ndidi has made 273 appearances and scored 17 goals for the club since his arrival in 2017. The 27-year-old has won the FA Cup, Charity Shield and Championship with the Foxes.
