Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has reaffirmed his commitment to Leicester City by signing a new contract, which will keep him at King Power Stadium until June 2027.

This extension effectively ends any interest from Everton and Wolves, who had been keen on acquiring the Nigerian.

Ndidi’s previous contract expired in June, and speculation was rife that he might leave as a free agent.

However, Leicester City succeeded in retaining one of their key players.

The 27-year-old, who joined Leicester from Belgian side Genk in January 2017, has become a pivotal figure for the team.

Since his arrival, Ndidi has made 273 appearances for Leicester City across all competitions, scoring 17 goals.

He has played an instrumental role in the club’s successes, including lifting the Emirates FA Cup, the FA Community Shield, and most recently, securing promotion to the Premier League as Championship winners last season.
