Premier League clubs West Ham and Crystal Palace are set to compete with Serie A powerhouse Juventus for the signature of Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi, allnigeriasoccercom reports.
Ndidi, a key player for the Championship club and the Nigerian national team, has attracted significant attention due to his versatile midfield capabilities.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Ndidi’s potential availability on a free transfer makes him a highly desirable target. His ability to protect the defense while also contributing to offensive play has been crucial for Leicester City, especially in their bid to return to the Premier League.

Crystal Palace sees Ndidi as a strategic addition to enhance their midfield dynamics, while West Ham, facing issues with current midfielders Tomáš Souček and on-loan Kalvin Phillips, view Ndidi as an optimal reinforcement.
Juventus, along with Premier League sides Tottenham and Newcastle, are also reportedly monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation closely.
This season, Ndidi has been instrumental in Leicester’s campaign, with seven goal involvements in 28 appearances, underlining his importance to the team. Leicester City faces the challenge of potentially losing a valuable asset without a transfer fee, adding urgency to their promotion efforts.
