Leicester City Eyes Newcastle's Longstaff as Ndidi replacement
Leicester City is actively seeking a successor for Wilfred Ndidi, with reports from Caughtoffside indicating their interest in Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Longstaff, 26, currently under contract at St. James’ Park until 2025, presents an attractive prospect for the Foxes due to the possibility of acquiring him at a reasonable price next summer.
Having started 24 Premier League matches for Newcastle this season and contributing to six goals, Longstaff's potential transfer to Leicester could mark a significant midfield reinforcement.
Meanwhile, Ndidi's tenure at the King Power Stadium might be drawing to a close, as prominent clubs in the Premier League and abroad, including Barcelona, vie for his signature as a free agent.
Among the suitors eyeing Ndidi's services are West Ham, who view him as a potential replacement for Manchester City loanee Kalvin Phillips, alongside Crystal Palace, Tottenham, Wolves, and Aston Villa.
Additionally, Italian giants Juventus have reportedly entered the fray for the Nigerian international, indicating a growing list of contenders in the race for his signature.
