Super Eagles and Leicester midfield ace, Wilfred Ndidi, has responded to an Arsenal fan who begged him to join the Gunners saying they already have Thomas Partey who plays a similar role to him. The Nigeria international has established himself as a key player under Brendan Rodgers at the heart of Leicester City’s midfield.
Ndidi has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United as Ole Gunn a r S o l – skjaer continues to target a new defensive midfielder. But one Arsenal fan bumped into the 24-year-old at an event and asked the Leicester City midfielder to make the move to Mikel Arteta’s side. However, after being asked by the Arsenal supporter, Ndidi smiled and replied: ‘You have Partey, he’s a great player.’ When the fan suggested to Ndidi that he could partner Partey in Arsenal’s midfield, he laughed again and replied: ‘Like [Michael] Essien and [John Obi] Mikel.’
Leicester, however, would be in a strong negotiating position if Arsenal registered their interest as Ndidi still has over two years remaining on his current deal with the Foxes. Ndidi is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and was forced to pull out of Nigeria’s squad during the current international break.
