Olympique Lyon Eyes Wilfred Ndidi for Midfield Reinforcement.
Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as they aim to bolster their squad ahead of the next season. According to French news outlet Foot Mercato, Lyon has identified Ndidi as a key transfer target to strengthen their midfield.
Lyon previously attempted to secure Ndidi on loan from Leicester City last summer, but the move was rebuffed by the Foxes. With Ndidi set to become a free agent at the end of next month, his future remains uncertain.
The 27-year-old midfielder, who played a crucial role in Leicester City’s promotion to the Premier League, is considering his options. Ndidi is keen to remain in England and may sign a new deal with Leicester City. Over the past season, he registered nine goal involvements in 32 matches, showcasing his significant impact on the team.
Lyon’s interest in Ndidi underscores his value and potential to contribute at the highest level, whether he stays in England or makes a move to France.
