According to Soccernet.ng, Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi has drawn interest from Sevilla and Tottenham Hotspur, two of Arsenal’s fiercest North London rivals.
Since taking over at Leicester after the team’s relegation the previous season, Enzo Maresca has developed the 26-year-old midfielder in the Sky Bet Championships.
Given that his contract expires in the summer of next year, the Nigerian can begin discussions with clubs on January 1st of the following year, as his performances have not gone unnoticed.
The Daily Express claims that Tottenham Hotspur is considering hiring the 54-time captained Super Eagle. Reuniting with former colleague James Maddison is the proposed move for the player.
Ndidi was previously closely associated with Manchester United and Liverpool, two teams in dire need of midfield reinforcement following the Foxes’ relegation from the English Premier League.
The seven-time UEFA Europa League champions, Vamos Sevilla, claim that Sevilla is also interested in the 1.83-meter-tall midfielder.
Víctor Orta, Sevilla’s sports director, has acknowledged that he is closely monitoring the Nigerian’s contract status in anticipation of a potential June 2024 transfer to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
In fifteen games this season, he has three goals and four assists. Three of those games were in the Carabao Cup, and the other twelve were in the league.
