Leicester City are looking to offer new terms to midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who is reportedly attracting interest from both Premier League and European clubs.

Leicester City aim to build on a successful promotion-winning season, which saw them clinch the Championship title with 97 points, seven points ahead of Leeds in third place.

Since Steve Cooper’s appointment on Thursday, which has divided opinions among Foxes fans, he has already begun to assert his authority by bringing in fresh faces to the coaching staff.

Former boss Enzo Maresca left to join Chelsea, taking all his staff with him, leaving Cooper with a clean slate.

The former Nottingham Forest boss has also moved quickly to secure some of the club’s most prized assets, with interest heating up for one key player from a Premier League rival.

Leicester City look to extend Wilfred Ndidi’s contract:

Leicester City are keen to retain Wilfred Ndidi for the 2024/25 season, with his contract set to expire this summer, according to journalist Santi Aouna.

It is also reported that Everton are interested in the Nigerian, alongside Lyon and Marseille.

The 27-year-old is not short of suitors after a successful season with the Foxes, playing 32 matches.

Ndidi’s season was slightly hampered by injury, leading to his exclusion from the squad on multiple occasions.

He also managed to contribute an impressive five assists to Maresca’s side, alongside scoring four himself.

Why Leicester City must do everything to keep Wilfred Ndidi:

The Nigerian has been the spine of the Foxes’ side ever since his move from Genk at the start of the 2016/17 season.

With him being just eight appearances shy of 200 Premier League games, his experience will be crucial for the Foxes.

His defensive offerings are also essential in getting the best out of midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who was pivotal in Leicester City winning the title last season with his 26 goal contributions.

The return to Premier League football may just be what Ndidi needs to commit his future to the King Power Stadium, although the prospect of European football from other clubs will be difficult to compete with.

It is clear that Cooper has been brought into the role with a clear plan and strategy, as shown by his decisive action with his staff. There is no doubt that this will positively influence Ndidi’s decision to snub other offers and extend his stay at Leicester City.
