Leicester
City have confirmed the signing of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi on a
five-and-a-half-year deal from Belgian club Genk. Ndidi's
£15million transfer to the Premier League champions, which has been in the
pipeline for more than a month, will be complete by the end of this week, when
a work permit has been officially granted.
The other
formalities of the deal have been concluded, with the 20-year-old agreeing
personal terms on a contract until 2022 and successfully undergoing a medical
last month.
Ndidi, who
has been in Dubai on a short holiday following the start of the winter break in
Belgium, is expected to join up with his new team-mates this week, but may not
be ready to take on Everton in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.
