The English Premier League market is recently abuzz with the news that Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi might move to Manchester United in the summer. But Ndidi has come out to say that he is not going anywhere.

Ndidi who signed for Leicester City from Genk for a fee of 17 million pounds in January. He was brought in by then manager Claudio Ranieri to replace the recently departed N’Golo Kante. The Nigerian had an on/off performance under the Italian but has really shown his talent under new boss Craig Shakespeare.

His so called agent Hakeem Bello recently said that his client might hand in a transfer request if United come calling in the summer.

Speaking to Owngoalnigeria.com he said, “Ndidi won’t say to Manchester United. I can proudly tell you that if a bid is launched for him, he will most likely ask Leicester City for a transfer. We’re talking about Manchester United you know, the biggest and most successful in England. That’s a no-brainer. Ndidi won’t turn down Man United, anyone willing to bet?”

And with such a spike in performances interest in him is surely about to grow. But the 20-year-old has cleared the air saying that he is 200 percent committed to Leicester and will not be moving to any club in the summer.

He recently tweeted stating that he will be staying at Leicester and the information about his move is not true at all. He also claimed that he had no idea who Hakeem Bello was.

This is what he said;

Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare also admitted to the fact that the speculation was a bit of a surprise to him. He said that they always get bids for good players. But at the same time, they can also turn them down.
