Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Onyinyen Ndidi has handed over one of his partners in The Foxes’ mid-section, Vincente Iborra over to Super Eagles colleague, Samuel Chukwueze at Villarreal of Spain.
Sports247.ng gathered that Chukwueze will now take over as Iborra’s next Nigerian colleague, following the Spanish midfielder’s arrival from Leicester on Monday.
In shifting from Ndidi to Chukwueze, the 30-year-old Iborra is bound to be at Villarreal until June 2023, having agreed a four-and-half-year deal.
However, before leaving, Iborra started just two English Premier League games this season, with Nampalys Mendy and Ndidi emerging as Claude Puel’s first-choice pairing in central midfield.
Hamza Choudhury also appears to have moved ahead of Iborra after starting alongside Ndidi in four of Leicester’s last five matches.
Leicester stated: “The football club would like to thank Vicente for his contribution over the past two seasons and wish him and his family the very best in the future.”
