According to a rather unsettling report from a lesser known outlet, Leicester City may have a problem on their hands. The claim concerns one of the Foxes' star midfielders. In this brief article we bring you the information published and attempt to explain everything. Then we also offer our opinions following what I suspect are inaccurate suggestions about Wilfred Ndidi.
The precise angle of the story is about the Nigeria international supposedly being discontented at King Power Stadium. On the contrary, Ndidi always appears one of the more content and happy players in the squad. Therefore the comments feel slightly off. However, the former Genk man was suspected of angling for a switch to La Liga in recent times.
In the not distant past, Ndidi was meant to be on Atletico Madrid's radar. Though news was never concrete, like being clarified or confirmed by someone such as Fabrizio Romano. Anyway, the 28-year-old reportedly 'offered himself' to the Spanish side. Ultimately nothing came of that speculation, but Atleti are apparently still interested in the midfield powerhouse.
The latest rumour concerning the east Midlands team is that Ndidi is "frustrated" again. If this is in fact untrue, it is strange that the originator waited until deadline day to scribble it. But that's just the way of the world in sports media I'm afraid. However, the Blue Army can relax because, even if Ndidi wants out, LCFC bosses will try to block any shock exit. Regardless of whether he's unsettled or not - Leicester really need Ndidi back fit and fighting!
Leicester City won't allow surprise Wilfred Ndidi departure to transpire when in such need of quality and dedication
Ndidi would be one of the last players we'd wish to lose at this delicate stage of the season. Thankfully manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and the ownership seem to agree:
"Exclusive: Leicester City block exit of player who is frustrated at King Power Stadium. However, according to Caught Offside sources, the Premier League side have blocked the exit of the player from the King Power Stadium in the winter transfer window."
