Ndidi signs new Leicester contract

Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has signed a new three-year deal at Leicester City.

The Nigeria international had been linked with a move away from King Power Stadium, despite the Foxes' promotion back to the Premier League.

But he has agreed terms until 2027 to end speculation over his future, after his previous contract expired last month.

Ndidi has made 273 appearances for Leicester since joining from Belgian side Genk in January 2017, scoring 17 goals and registering 17 assists along the way.

The 27-year-old helped the club win the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2021, while he was also key in their Championship title win last season as the Foxes returned to the top flight at the first time of asking.

"I feel great, I feel excited, I feel at home," Ndidi told the club website. "That is the most important thing. I feel really happy to continue with the club.

"My family is settled here and when everyone back home says 'Ndidi', they say 'Leicester' also"
