Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi says he won’t “worry about trying his luck elsewhere”
Leicester City have returned to the Premier League at the first attempt and going into the summer, the future of several stars is uncertain, including Wilfred Ndidi and Jamie Vardy.
Enzo Maresca’s side won the Championship by one point from Ipswich Town, despite a difficult back-to-back campaign. However, the Foxes got the job done and will compete in England’s top flight next season.
Ahead of the 2024/25 season, Wilfred Ndidi, Jamie Vardy, Jannik Vestergaard and Kelechi Iheanacho are other players out of contract and the Nigerian has admitted that he would not mind leaving the King Power in the summer months.
Speaking about winning the Championship title and returning to the Premier League, the 27-year-old player told the African website Complete Sports that: “It is good to return to the Premier League after being relegated, and fighting to return to the EPL is actually something we need. I don’t want to go back again.
“I think morale is high, hope is high, we have to make sure we don’t go back to the Championship. It’s a tough place to play.”
When talking about his future, Ndidi said: “If a good opportunity comes, I will not worry about trying my luck elsewhere but for now I am still a Leicester City player.”
Leicester City should offer Wilfred Ndidi a new contract
Ndidi has been a key player for Leicester City this season as he has suited up as a midfielder in 36 games for the Foxes, scoring six goals and providing six assists.
The Championship winners should offer the 27-year-old a new contract as he is not only an integral part of Maresca’s squad, but the Nigerian has experience playing in the Premier League.
Leicester also will not want to lose the player for nothing, therefore, they should at least offer him a new contract. If Ndidi says no, then so be it, but the Foxes should not let the midfielder leave without an effort to keep him for the 2024/25 campaign.
