Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers says the Premier League outfit will not part company with their top players, including Nigeria’s Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, in the winter transfer market.
The Nigeria international is on the radar of the top clubs in the English top-flight following a string of fine performances in midfield and Leicester City, who occupy the second position in the Premier League standings presently need the star player.
Since the beginning of the 2017-2018 season, no player has made more tackles in the Premier League than the Foxes number 25.
The media continue to link James Maddison, Ben Chilwell and Caglar Soyuncu with a departure from Leicester City next month, but Rodgers has insisted that none of their top players will be sold.
“There will be no one leaving in January. Categorically,” said Rodgers to Sky Sports.
He added : ”It’s pretty clear we want to keep this squad together, it’s a very exciting team with a lot of growth and development in it. So we want to make sure that they stay around and beyond January.”
Ndidi penned a new deal with Leicester City after the 2018 World Cup, keeping him at the King Power Stadium until June 30, 2024.
