Several top European clubs are vying for the signature of Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, with Everton, Lyon, and Marseille joining Fenerbahçe in the pursuit.

This development was reported by Football Mercato journalist Santi Aouna.

Fenerbahçe are said to be leading the race for his signature, but Football Mercato claims Lyon has been involved in the battle and wants to swiftly secure a deal for Ndidi.

Lyon’s Ligue one rivals, AS Monaco has also expressed strong interest in the 27-year-old Nigeria international who has just few weeks left on his deal with Leicester City.

Despite Ndidi nearing the end of his contract with Leicester City, The Foxes are keen on keeping the midfielder at the King Power Stadium.
