Leicester City’s hunt for a successor to Wilfred Ndidi intensifies as the midfielder edges closer to his exit from the King Power Stadium.

Reports from Caughtoffside suggest that the Foxes have set their sights on Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff as a potential candidate to fill Ndidi’s role.

The Nigerian’s contract is reaching its conclusion, fueling speculation of his departure from the club.

Leicester City is closely monitoring Longstaff’s situation at Newcastle United.

With Longstaff’s contract set to expire in 2025, there’s a possibility of securing him for a bargain in the upcoming transfer window, should Newcastle opt to sell rather than risk losing him for free.

Given Ndidi’s significant experience, Leicester City’s proactive approach to finding a replacement is crucial.

The Nigerian international has attracted interest from various clubs including West Ham, Crystal Palace, Tottenham, Wolves, and Aston Villa.

Furthermore, European giants Barcelona and Juventus are also reportedly eyeing the 27 year-old.
