The north Londoners are keen on acquiring Ndidi&#8217;s services as he nears the end of his contract at the King Power Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leicester have enjoyed an excellent start to their 2023\/2024 campaign following relegation from the Premier League last season. The Foxes have won 13 of their 15 Championship matches so far and currently sit four points clear at the top of the table.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive midfielder Ndidi, who has been at the club since 2016, has played a pivotal role in Leicester&#8217;s early successes and has caught the eye of many top European clubs. According to TeamTalk, Leicester have been &#8220;working hard&#8221; to extend his stay but are yet to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The report goes on to claim that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have enquired about the midfielder, while Lyon, Monaco, Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Brentford are also keeping a close eye on his contractual situation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/James-Maddison-5051757.jpg?r=1699272185061\"><\/p>\n<p>As Ndidi&#8217;s contract is set to expire in June he is able to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club in January. Tottenham will be hoping they can position themselves ahead of the rest of the pack in the race for the 26-year-old&#8217;s signature.<\/p>\n<p>Several reports claimed Ndidi sought a move away from Leicester over the summer but the Nigerian international has since come out and denied this. During an appearance on\u00a0BBC Radio Leicester\u2019s\u00a0When You\u2019re Smiling\u00a0Podcast back in September, Ndidi explained how a chat with new manager\u00a0Enzo Maresca filled him with confidence ahead of this season.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal boss Arteta must undo &#8216;verbal agreement&#8217; to steal Klopp target Andre[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Liverpool have signed seven players in last nine years who never played for them[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Postecoglou has Tottenham theory which may make Spurs major title contender[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Wilfred-Ndidi-5051760.jpg?r=1699272185128\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be honest no,\u201d he said\u00a0when asked if he ever thought that he would leave the club in the summer. \u201cBecause when he (Maresca) came, he tried to explain his philosophy and also the simplicity of the game and I just feel like it\u2019s something I can actually learn from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been open-minded to try and learn more on his philosophy and his style of game and it\u2019s been going well.
