Leicester City’s return to the Premier League was significantly aided by the pivotal role played by Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
With Lyon aiming to bolster their midfield ranks, reports from Foot Mercato suggest that they are eyeing Ndidi as a potential addition to their squad.
While Nemanja Matić and Maxence Caqueret have provided stability in Lyon’s midfield recently, potential departures necessitate further reinforcements. Caqueret himself may attract attention, and the future of Corentin Tolisso remains uncertain.

Despite Orel Mangala’s arrival from Nottingham Forest in January, he has yet to fully establish himself at Lyon.
Last summer, Lyon attempted to secure Ndidi’s signature, but the deal fell through due to complications. However, with Ndidi’s contract set to expire this summer, Lyon sees an opportune moment to pursue him as a free agent.
Yet, Lyon faces competition from Everton and Real Betis in the race to secure Ndidi’s services.
