Aston Villa are considering making a move for Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi when the transfer window opens in the summer. According to the Daily Star, the Villans consider Ndidi as a perfect alternative to Mali’s midfielder Yves Bissouma.
Villa were linked with a move for Bissouma in the winter window. Bthey could not agree a deal with Brighton Hove Albion.
And with that development, Villa’s manager Steven Gerrard has identified Ndidi as an alternative to the Mali international.
Villans are ready to test Leicester’s resolve by signing Ndidi who is currently Nigeria’s joint most valuable player with a market value of £50m as per Transfer markt.
However, it may still not be enough for Leicester to allow one of their best players to leave. Ndidi has been one of the Foxes key players since he arrived in January 2017 and one of Brendan Rodgers trusted stalwarts.
There are few midfielders better than Ndidi in breaking up the opposition’s attacking flow. Since the start of last season, only Bissouma has had more tackles and interceptions than Ndidi.

Villa may also find it difficult to convince Ndidi to move to the Midlands as the Nigerian international is also currently studying Business Management at De Montfort University.
Ndidi’s current contract at the King Power Stadium expires in 2024.
