VIDEO: Ndidi Scores and Assists in Leicester’s EFL Cup Win as He Nears Exit
Wilfred Ndidi scored and assisted a goal to help Leicester City beat Tranmere Rovers 2-0 in the EFC Cup round two game played on Tuesday.
Introduced onto the field in the second half, the Super Eagles midfielder wasted no time in making his presence felt. Just nine minutes after his entrance, Ndidi found the back of the net, opening the scoring for Leicester City with a well-taken strike in the 55th minute.
Demonstrating his versatility, Ndidi then turned provider as he orchestrated the setup for a goal by none other than club legend Jamie Vardy. In the 59th minute, his assist played a crucial role in doubling Leicester’s lead.
Amidst this impressive performance, the backdrop of transfer speculation adds a layer of intrigue. Reports suggest that Ndidi is edging closer to a potential move to Nottingham Forest, a club that boasts a Nigerian contingent.
According to respected transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Ndidi has already reached an agreement regarding personal terms with Forest. Negotiations between the Premier League club and Leicester City are currently underway to facilitate the possible transfer.
