Leicester City endured a disappointing season in the Premier League, resulting in their relegation to the Championship.
The team’s struggles were evident as they finished 18th in the league table. Throughout the course of the campaign, Leicester City went through a managerial upheaval, with three different managers taking charge.
The first casualty was Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked in April, following a series of poor results. In his absence, Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler stepped in as interim managers for a couple of matches before the appointment of Dean Smith for the remaining eight games of the season. Unfortunately, these changes failed to reverse the team’s fortunes, and they ultimately succumbed to relegation.
One player who faced a challenging season was Wilfred Ndidi, the Super Eagles midfielder. Ndidi, known for his defensive prowess, endured a mixed campaign due to recurring injury problems. Despite this, he managed to make 27 appearances in the Premier League, with 11 of them coming off the bench.
It is worth noting that Ndidi had previously excelled under Brendan Rodgers during their time together at Leicester City. It was under Rodgers’ guidance that the Nigerian midfielder reached the peak of his valuation. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Celtic’s new coach, Brendan Rodgers, is interested in acquiring Ndidi for his new team.
However, a potential deal between Celtic and Leicester City might face obstacles, primarily due to Ndidi’s valuation. The Nigerian midfielder is currently valued at £32 million, a price that the Scottish champions might find difficult to meet. Furthermore, Ndidi has only one year remaining on his contract at Leicester City. If he does not sign an extension, the club may be compelled to sell him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.
The future of Wilfred Ndidi remains uncertain as Leicester City contemplates their options. While Brendan Rodgers’ interest in reuniting with the midfielder is apparent, the financial constraints and Ndidi’s contract situation may influence the final outcome. Fans and observers eagerly await further developments to see whether Ndidi will make a move to Celtic or continue his journey with Leicester City in the Championship.
