[b]Leicester City[/b] manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has made it clear that there is no possibility of Nigerian midfielder [b]Wilfred Ndidi[/b] leaving the club during the January transfer window. Van Nistelrooy firmly shut down any rumors regarding Ndidi's potential departure, emphasizing that the player is not for sale.
Ndidi, who has attracted interest from Ligue 1 side AS Monaco and La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid, continues to be a crucial figure in Leicester's squad, as confirmed by Van Nistelrooy. The manager's statement underscores how integral Ndidi is to the team's plans moving forward, especially as they seek to improve their current form and climb up the league table.
Speaking to the BBC, Van Nistelrooy stated, “No, of course not. Wilfred is a key player and person in the squad and in the club. I’m glad he is nearly there to help the team again.” This statement makes it clear that the Dutch manager has full faith in Ndidi's abilities and his importance to Leicester City’s future success.
The Dutch manager further emphasized Ndidi’s role within the team as the Foxes continue their battle to regain form. He added, “We know how much we’ve missed him, and we know we need him. Wilf is key in the coming months, a key part of this team that can get us out of this situation.” These words reflect the high regard Van Nistelrooy has for Ndidi's contributions on and off the pitch, particularly as Leicester aims to recover from a tough spell in their season.
Ndidi, who signed a new three-year contract with Leicester City last summer, has made 15 league appearances this season, providing three assists. His return from injury is expected to significantly boost the team’s chances of improving their position on the table as they aim to turn their fortunes around in the coming months.
