Wilfred Ndidi Discusses New Contract, Steve Cooper, and His ‘Unfinished Business’

Despite the transfer speculation surrounding Wilfred Ndidi, the midfielder’s decision to stay with Leicester City was straightforward due to his unfinished business with the club.

Today, Ndidi signed a new three-year contract that extends his stay at the King Power Stadium until 2027, potentially marking over a decade with Leicester.

Ndidi reportedly received several offers, including interest from Sevilla and extensive links to Everton. However, amidst the rumors, Ndidi maintained a clear focus on his commitment to Leicester.

Speaking to the club’s website, Ndidi emphasized his contentment with his decision: “I feel great, I feel excited, I feel at home. That’s the most important thing. I feel really happy to continue with the club. My family is settled here, and everyone back home associates me with Leicester.”

He added, “Being part of this journey is amazing. The decision was easy because my family is settled here. My daughter attends school here, and it’s a relaxed environment. Knowing my family is taken care of allows me to focus solely on football.”

Ndidi also expressed enthusiasm about working with new manager Steve Cooper: “I had a chance to speak with him during the holidays. He shared some great ideas, and it was really amazing. He’s a great guy and funny. I look forward to working with him; it’s very exciting.”

He continued, “We’re capable of adapting to whatever comes our way and moving forward. We have an exciting group with great qualities, and the mentality among the coaches and staff is amazing.

Although it won’t be an easy season, with our players and mindset, we’re up for the challenge. There’s unfinished business that we need to continue.”

Ndidi’s words reflect a strong sense of loyalty and optimism for the future at Leicester City, highlighting his belief in the team’s potential and his readiness to face the upcoming challenges.
