New Leicester Manager Steve Cooper Awaits Key Decision as Man City Midfielder is Linked
Early next week, new Leicester City manager Steve Cooper will learn whether Wilfred Ndidi will remain with the club. The Nigerian international, whose contract expires on July 1st, is weighing offers from Everton and Galatasaray. Leicester are preparing for various scenarios, including Ndidi’s departure.
Leicester are actively monitoring the transfer market to address potential midfield gaps left by Yunus Akgun, Marc Albrighton, and Dennis Praet. Even if Ndidi stays, the club is expected to bring in at least one or possibly two new midfielders to bolster the squad.
One promising candidate is James McAtee from Manchester City. McAtee, who impressed during his loan spell at Sheffield United last season, could be an ideal addition. The 21-year-old England U21 international is versatile, capable of playing both on the flank and in an attacking midfield role. His skill set and experience make him a valuable asset for Leicester.
Given Steve Cooper’s recent appointment as manager, McAtee remains a top target for the club. His potential loan move to Leicester could provide the team with the necessary depth and creativity in midfield. As the transfer window approaches, Leicester fans will be eager to see how these developments unfold and which new faces will join the squad.
