Leicester City have signed
Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi from Belgian side Racing Genk on a
five-and-a-half-year deal subject to a work permit being granted, the Premier
League champions said on Tuesday.
No financial details were
given, although media reports have mentioned a figure of STG15 million ($AU25.4
million) plus a further three million of potential add-ons.
The 20-year-old has agreed
personal terms, undergone a medical and will sign a contract to June 2022 once
the permit comes through officially, City added on their website.
Leicester, who need a
replacement for N'Golo Kante after the French midfielder joined current leaders
Chelsea last summer, said Ndidi was expected to complete the formalities of his
move later this week.
Ndidi, who helped Genk
reach the knockout stages of this season's Europa League competition, will link
up with Nigeria international forward Ahmed Musa at the Foxes.
Leicester, whose title
against the odds was the stuff of fairytales, are languishing in 14th place in
the league and still await their first away win of the season.
