Birmingham City, Derby County and Leeds United have all been credited with an interest in the defender, who will continue his career at Leicester City.
Birmingham City, Derby County and Leeds United all explored the possibility of signing the Leicester City centre-back, Daniel Obi, reports All Nigeria Soccer.
Obi is said to have finally begun a two-year scholarship deal with the Premier League side, despite apparent interest from Birmingham, Derby and Leeds.
According to All Nigeria Soccer, the UK-raised teenager agreed terms with the Foxes in November 2018 and made his debut for their Under-18s in April.
Leicester have recently added a number of promising youngsters to their academy ranks, including the Leeds-linked striker, Ali Reghba.
And Reghba and co. could yet be joined by the Leeds U23s midfielder Callum Nicell, who played for a Foxes XI at Hednesford Town on Friday.
It remains unclear if Nicell has officially signed for Leicester or was simply on trial.
Of the clubs reportedly interested in Obi, only Derby, like Leicester, can boast a Category One academy.
Both Birmingham and Leeds have retained Category Two status.
