ENGLISH Premiership champions, Leicester City, have been asked to make an improved offer in order to land Nigerian youngster, Wilfred Ndidi.
On Monday, Leicester City offered Genk £16million for Ndidi’s services but the Belgian side said it would only commence negotiation with £20million on the table.
The story in Belgium is that Genk are not likely to keep the midfielder following impressive spells in continental and international matches this season.
Ndidi is being eyed by Claudio Ranieri as a suitable replacement for Ngolo Kante who left the team this season to join Chelsea.
Kante’s exit is believed to have adversely affected Leicester badly this term with Ghana’s George Armantey unable to slot in to Kante’s big shoes. Armantey, a wingback was drafted into an unfamiliar midfield position as Kante’s direct replacement, Nampalys Mendy, acquired in a £13m deal last summer has failed to recover from an ankle injury.
Already, Ndidi’s compatriot, Ahmed Musa is on the bill of Leicester.
