Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has explained the real reason why he decided to extend his contract with English Premier League (EPL) side Leicester City.
Recall that the combative player signed a new three-year contract with Premier League club Leicester City after his previous contract expired last month, which sparked rumours of his departure.
Ndidi has now revealed that he decided to stay on at Leicester City because he feels really happy to continue with the club and his family is settled in the city.
“I’ve had a chance to speak with [Cooper]. I spoke to him during the holidays when he came in,” Ndidi told the club’s official website.
“He had some good ideas to share with me, so it was really, really, really amazing and I’m looking forward to working with him. He’s a great guy, he’s funny. I look forward to working with him, it’s very exciting.”

“I feel great, I feel excited, I feel at home,” Ndidi told the club website.
“That is the most important thing. I feel really happy to continue with the club. My family is settled here, and when everyone back home says ‘Ndidi’, they say ‘Leicester’ also.”
This comes about a month after Everton indicated an interest in signing Ndidi from Leicester City.
Everton’s interest in the combative player was made known in a report published by TEAMtalk which revealed that the EPL club wants the player as a replacement for Amadou Onana, who could leave this summer.
Further reports also suggest that Sevilla and Real Sociedad are also interested in the 27-year-old player, whose present club has now announced that they are in talks to renew his contract.
