Confirmed: Leicester City receive huge contract boost

Leicester City has successfully fended off interest from other clubs for out-of-contract midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, securing his commitment with a new three-year deal that extends his tenure at the King Power Stadium until at least 2027. This ensures Ndidi’s stay with the club for over a decade by the contract’s conclusion.

Since joining Leicester from Genk in January 2017, Ndidi has amassed 273 appearances, with an impressive 192 in the Premier League alone. His versatility was highlighted last season under Enzo Maresca’s guidance, where he transitioned from a deep-lying midfielder to a more advanced role. This tactical adjustment saw Ndidi contribute significantly with four goals and five assists, pivotal to Leicester’s title-winning and promotion campaign back to the top flight.

Despite having multiple options available due to his contract expiration, the 27-year-old has opted to remain with Leicester City, keen to continue his development under new manager Steve Cooper. Ndidi’s decision bolsters Leicester’s midfield options, complementing players like Harry Winks, Hamza Choudhury, Ricardo Pereira, and new signing Michael Golding. His retention underscores Leicester’s ambition to maintain a competitive squad as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
