Leicester City’s newly appointed manager, Steve Cooper has made it a top priority to retain Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

Cooper, confirmed as the club’s new manager last week, is focusing on keeping the core of the squad together, with Ndidi being a key player.

Ndidi’s current contract with Leicester City expires at the end of this month, and he has been linked with several other clubs.

Although the club has offered him a new contract, the Midfielder has yet to decide on his future.

According to sources at Filbert Way, Cooper has scheduled a meeting with Ndidi next week to discuss his decision. The manager sees Ndidi as a valuable asset and is eager for him to stay.

Wilfred Ndidi, who has been a crucial defensive midfielder for Leicester City since 2017, will soon reveal his decision on whether he will remain with the club.

He helped the club win the English FA Cup and Community Shield.
