Long-serving Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him at King Power Stadium until at least June 2027.
The 27-year-old Nigeria international, who joined Leicester from Belgian side Genk in January 2017, has made 273 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals. Ndidi has been an integral part of the team, helping them win the FA Cup, FA Community Shield, and most recently, the Championship title, which secured their promotion back to the Premier League.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the new contract, Ndidi told LCFC.com: “I feel great, I feel excited, I feel at home. That’s the most important thing. I feel really happy to continue with the Club. My family is settled here and everyone back home, when they say Ndidi, they say Leicester also! It’s really amazing to be a part of this journey going forward.”

Ndidi, known for his tough tackling and combative style, has been a standout player since his debut in a 2-1 victory against Everton at Goodison Park. His exceptional performances earned him the Young Player of the Year award after just four months with Leicester and helped the club achieve back-to-back fifth-place finishes in the Premier League.
At the international level, Ndidi has earned 58 caps for Nigeria, including appearances at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
As he prepares to rejoin his Leicester City teammates, Ndidi looks forward to the upcoming Premier League season, starting with a match against Tottenham Hotspur at King Power Stadium on Monday, August 19.
