Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has signed a new deal that will keep him at the King Power Stadium until June 2027, subject to English Premier League (EPL) approval, according to the club.

A tough-tackling and combative midfielder, Ndidi was instrumental in the team’s promotion to the Premier League as Championship winners after a season in the second division. He has made 273 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 17 goals for the Foxes.

“Hi guys, Wilfred Ndidi here. I have unfinished business. Let’s go,” Ndidi said in a video posted on the club’s social media.

The 27-year-old joined Leicester City from Belgian side Genk in January 2017. Since then, he has won the FA Cup, Charity Shield, and Championship with the Foxes.

Ndidi’s new contract will extend his stay at Leicester City beyond a decade, marking a significant commitment to the club where he has already achieved considerable success.
