The Belgian side's boss says he will do everything
to stop the Super Eagles midfielder from joining
the Premier League champions in January
Genk director of sport, Dimitri De Conde has
insisted that he will frustrate Wilfred Ndidi’s move
to Leicester City in the January transfer window.
The Premier League champions have already
agreed to sign the Nigerian international in a deal
worth £15million after completing medical with the
club.
De Conde also stated that the club is already
planning to replace the player next summer if he
eventually joins the Foxes next month, adding that
Leicester are not the only club interested in the
20-year-old midfielder.
"Seeing Ndidi and Leon Bailey leave in January?
It's possible, but I'm going to do everything in my
power to stop it from happening,” De Conde told
L'Avenir newspaper.
"Our plan was to replace them next season only.
And yes, for Ndidi, we're talking with Leicester,
but they aren't the only club interested."
Ndidi, who can play in the midfield or anywhere
across the backline is expected to replace N’golo
Kante, who joined Chelsea after helping the King
Power Stadium outfit clinch their very first English
topflight title.
