Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham Eye Wilfred Ndidi Ahead of Summer Exit from Relegated Leicester

Premier League sides Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham are monitoring Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi ahead of a potential summer move, as the Nigerian international looks set to leave the relegated Foxes.

Leicester’s demotion to the Sky Bet Championship was confirmed following a 1-0 defeat to newly crowned champions Liverpool two weeks ago—a result that has sparked speculation about several departures from the squad.

Ndidi, 27, is expected to be among the high-profile exits, with a £9 million release clause in the three-year contract he signed last summer making him an attractive target for top-flight clubs seeking experienced midfield reinforcements.

Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are also reportedly interested in the former Genk player, who joined Leicester in January 2017 and has since established himself as one of the Premier League’s top ball-winning midfielders.

Ndidi’s next move could be pivotal as he seeks to maintain top-tier football and cement his place in the Super Eagles setup ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
