Arsenal are interested in Wilfred Ndidi but the £15 million Leicester City midfielder has absolutely no plans to turn his back on Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes this summer, according to AllNigeriaSoccer.
And who can blame him?
As it stands, Leicester are pretty much guaranteed a place in the Champions League for just the second time in their history. Arguably the most exciting and enticing football club in England’s top flight are third in the table, six games and 13 points clear of the perennial underachievers from north London.
So while Arsenal perhaps have a stature and a reputation that Leicester cannot match despite their recent success, why on earth would Ndidi walk away from a club who appear to be going from strength to strength under Rodgers.
No wonder, then, that Ndidi plans to reject all offers that come his way this summer – including any that Arsenal may be planning to make.
In truth, the chances of the Nigerian powerhouse swapping the King Power for the Emirates always felt slim. With Arsenal set to miss out on Champions League riches once again, money is tighter than ever, with head coach Mikel Arteta under pressure to rebuild his squad on a somewhat shoestring budget.
And Ndidi, arguably the most impressive and influential defensive midfielder in the Premier League right now, would cost a damn sight more than the £15 million Leicester invested in him three years ago.
