Ndidi flattered by interest from Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool
Super Eagles and Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has admitted that he is ‘flattered’ by links with a move to a top Premier League club.
Ndidi arrived in the Premier League from Belgian club Genk in a £14m deal back in 2017 and was an ever-present last season, quickly becoming a favourite of new boss Brendan Rodgers.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Champions League winners Liverpool have subsequently been credited with an interest in the 22-year-old.
The Nigeria international, who is currently preparing for the 2019 African Cup of Nations [AFCON], admitted he is aware of interest from top teams.
“I am flattered when hearing such a thing,” Ndidi told Goal.
“It is very good to hear about that interest from big clubs, but there is nothing on the ground so I won’t care about it.
“I am focusing on AFCON with Nigeria now, and then pre-season with Leicester City. We have a great manager with ambition to compete with big clubs in the Premier League.”
Ndidi committed his long-term future to Leicester by signing a six-year deal last year, just as rumours that Jurgen Klopp’s side would make a move gathered steam.
