Ex-Tottenham defender backs Super Eagles midfielder for Celtic

Posted : 22 June 2023
The future of Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi at Leicester City has become the subject of intensified speculation in recent weeks, particularly following the club's relegation to the Championship at the end of the 2022-2023 season. 

With the Foxes now preparing for life in the second tier of English football, it is widely believed that Ndidi is among the players available for a potential transfer.

In an interesting twist, it has been reported that new Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is eyeing a reunion with Ndidi, who had previously played under the Northern Irish manager during their time together at Leicester City. 

Having spent four years at the club, Ndidi made a notable impact, featuring in 138 matches and contributing directly to eleven goals.

Leicester City acquired the talented midfielder from Racing Genk in January 2017 for a transfer fee of seventeen million euros, solidifying his reputation as a promising player with immense potential. 

However, in recent times, Ndidi's market valuation has experienced a decline due to inconsistent form displayed both at the club and international levels, coupled with the limited time remaining on his current contract.

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Alan Hutton has expressed his belief that Ndidi would be a valuable asset for the Celtic team. 

Hutton further suggested that the Scottish club might be able to secure the services of the Nigerian midfielder for a fee in the region of £7 million. 

While acknowledging the potential financial investment required, Hutton emphasized the positive impact Ndidi's defensive midfield qualities could have on the team, ultimately enhancing their overall performance.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the uncertainty surrounding Ndidi's future at Leicester City continues to fuel speculation and discussion among fans and pundits alike. 

Celtic's involvement in the UEFA Champions League next season could potentially provide them with the financial means to pursue a deal for the midfielder, making them an attractive destination for Ndidi as he considers his next career move.
