Galatasaray renew efforts to sign Wilfred Ndidi

Turkish giants Galatasaray are linked with a move for Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi ahead of the summer transfer window. 

It was previously reported by the country’s local news outlet A Spor that Galatasaray were interested in signing him last summer as well but a deal could not be agreed with Leicester City.

Another Turkish outlet Takvim, has now claimed that the Istanbul based club have ‘already started’ their renewed efforts to sign the midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.

The report also claims that the player himself is ‘keen to start a new chapter’ away from Leicester City and could leave even if they win back promotion.
