Midfielder is ‘laughing’ as Wilfred Ndidi addresses Leicester City transfer rumors.
The midfielder was reportedly interested in moving to Nottingham Forest in the final days of the summer transfer season, according to the most recent Leicester City news.
Wilfred Ndidi, a midfielder for Leicester City, has reportedly expressed his ‘laughing’ at suggestions that he intended to leave the team this summer amid links to Nottingham Forest.
In the last days of the summer transfer window, the Nigerian international was mentioned in connection with a transfer away from the team. Ndidi reportedly wanted to transfer across the East Midlands and that Forest had made a bid for him.
That transfer never happened, and on the final day of the transfer window, Forest instead acquired Ibrahim Sangare. Despite rumors about his future, Ndidi was still chosen for Enzo Maresca’s starting lineup, and he has played in every game across all competitions so far this season.

When asked if he ever considered leaving the club in the summer, he replied, “To be honest, no,” according to the When You’re Smiling Podcast on BBC Radio Leicester. “I simply feel like it’s something I can truly learn from, because when he (Maresca) came, he tried to explain his philosophy and also the simplicity of the game.
“I’ve been willing to try and understand more about his mindset and his playing technique, and so far it’s been successful. I’m glad to be here.
