According to a recent report, Leicester City has made a significant decision regarding the future of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. Meanwhile, a rival club has expressed interest in signing an out-of-favor Leicester goalkeeper. Stay with FoL for comprehensive coverage of these stories and more Leicester City news this Sunday afternoon. Fans also have another friendly match to anticipate.
As the new season approaches, Leicester City fans are eagerly awaiting what they hope will be a successful campaign. Given the current situation at Filbert Way, simply staying in the Premier League would be a remarkable achievement. Despite the late development of LCFC’s preseason schedule compared to other clubs, excitement is building among the Foxes supporters.
The preseason begins with a likely behind-closed-doors practice match against Loughborough, followed by a non-competitive fixture against Shrewsbury Town. Now, a third preseason game has been confirmed for Leicester City. They will face Ligue 1 team RC Lens in France on August 10, concluding their summer friendlies. After that, the season kicks off with a Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Two transfer rumors involving Leicester City are currently circulating. Speculation is rampant across many Premier League clubs, especially the “Big Six,” with numerous potential deals being discussed. However, there is less buzz around Leicester City than usual. This is likely due to financial constraints and the recent managerial vacancy. With Steve Cooper now in charge at the King Power Stadium, fans can expect more transfer activity and potential new signings.
Keeping Wilfred Ndidi is likely a priority for Cooper. Ndidi, a fan favorite, is known for his exceptional tackling and intercepting skills. He has also adapted to a versatile No. 8 midfield role. Reports suggest that Leicester City is looking to extend the Nigerian international’s contract.
In addition, Derby County is interested in taking Leicester’s goalkeeper, Daniel Iversen, on loan. However, a permanent move might be more suitable for the shot-stopper.
Stay tuned with FoL for all your Leicester City updates, covering these transfer rumors and other news as the club prepares for the upcoming season.
