Liverpool are reportedly ready to “break the bank” for Super Eagles
midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
The New Telegraph reports that Jurgen Klopp is willing to sanction a
£54.3million bid for the Leicester City enforcer.
The 21-year-old Nigerian international has been impressive since he
was brought in to replace N’Golo Kante at the King Power Stadium.
Ndidi, who arrived at Leicester from Genk in January 2017 for
£15million is under contract until 2022, has completed the most
tackles per 90 minutes in the top flight than any other player.
Former Nigerian international, Etim Esin, believes a move to Anfield
could happen.
“I can’t remember the last time we had a Nigerian in Liverpool apart
from Victor Moses’ brief stint there,” Esin said.
“This is going to be a fantastic move for him and I think his transfer
fee is likely going to go up because it could happen shortly after the
World Cup.”
Mohamed Salah’s £34.3m move to Anfield marks not only Liverpool’s most
expensive ever signing, but also the most expensive ever signing of an
African player – breaking the £34m record set by new club teammate
Sadio Mane the previous summer.
