Those sides below them have reeled them right in, however, after Enzo Maresca’s side had a huge wobble a few weeks ago.

Leicester transfer news: Wilfred Ndidi could join Galatasaray

Every player still has a part to play, even if their intention is to move on during the summer.

That is likely to apply to Wilfred Ndidi.

An automatic pick when he’s fit, Ndidi is out of contract at the end of the season and, according to Aspor, is likely to sign for Turkish giants, Galatasaray.

The outlet note the club’s interest in him last summer, but nothing ever came of their interest.

Where they’ll be able to seduce the 27-year-old is that they are likely to be able to offer him Champions League football next season.

At present, Gala sit top of the Turkish Super Lig, and failure to qualify for the premier European competition would be a huge surprise.
