Leicester City 'line up new deal for Manchester United-linked Wilfred Ndidi'

Leicester City are reportedly keen to agree a new long-term contract with midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

The Nigeria international is currently in his sixth year at the King Power Stadium, with 201 appearances in all competitions being made since January 2017.

His enhanced status means that the 25-year-old is being linked with a move elsewhere, the likes of Manchester United and Aston Villa said to hold an interest.

However, according to Football Insider, the Foxes are eager to agree fresh terms with one of their most prized assets.

Although Ndidi has a contract until the end of 2023-24, his last renewal was all the way back in August 2018 when he did not possess the reputation that he has since forged for club and country.

With Leicester already resigned to cashing in on Youri Tielemans this summer, it appears highly unlikely that they will consider any bids for Ndidi during the next transfer window.
