Transfer: Leicester City accept €9.5m Ndidi bid from Turkey

Leicester City have reportedly accepted a €9.5 million bid from Besiktas for Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

The Turkish Süper Lig giants are among the clubs that have shown keen interest in the Super Eagles midfielder.

Despite penning a new deal with the Foxes following the club's promotion to the Premier League last summer, Ndidi had a €9 million relegation clause inserted into his contract.

Besiktas submitted an initial €7 million bid for the 28-year-old, which was rejected by Leicester City.

Ndidi has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs this summer, including Manchester United and Juventus.

He joined the Foxes from Belgian Pro League outfit KRC Genk in January 2017.
