There was much excitement amongst the Celtic fans after Leicester City’s, Wilfred Ndidi, was linked to the club yesterday.
The Nigerian international midfielder was rumoured to have wanted to link up with Brendan Rodgers after he spent four years with the Celtic manager at The King Power Stadium.
Ndidi won an FA Cup and the Community Shield during Rodgers’ time at The Foxes and reports suggested he would be keen to link up with the Celtic boss to play in the Champions League next season.
With his contract already expired, Ndidi was still in negotiations with Leicester as they look to bolster their squad for the Premier League next season.
And it seems, now, that the 27-year-old’s future has been sorted out.
Ndidi set to sign new Leicester City contract
According to All Nigeria Soccer, there is ‘no truth’ in report from the Daily Record suggesting Ndidi wanted to link up with Rodgers and that the story did not come from either Ndidi or his representitives.
The report goes on further to explain that Ndidi ‘will definitely sign a new contract’ with Leicester to help fight to keep their status in the Premier League nest season.
Ndidi has made 356 professional first-team appearances for both Leicester and Genk with the majority of those under Celtic boss, Rodgers.
