Leeds United could make a move for Leicester star Wilfried Ndidi this summer.
Daniel Farke‘s side secured promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign.
The German is looking for players with top-flight experience and the Elland Road outfit have already been linked with the likes of Caoimhin Kelleher and Kostas Tsimikas.

Leeds tipped to make Ndidi move
The Foxes could face a squad exodus given their relegation to the Championship and their Profit and Sustainability concerns.
Iconic commentator Ian Darke believes that the Whites could make a swoop for Ndidi to add vital experience to the ranks.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, he said: “I don’t have it in front of me, where every club particularly is, it is complicated, this PSR and financial fair play stuff.
“I think Leicester have got to sell some of their players, somebody like Wilfried Ndidi would probably be a good buy for one of the three promoted clubs.
“He ticks the box of having played for several years in the Premier League.”
The midfielder is reportedly available for £9million this summer and Darke believes that it would be a good deal for the Peacocks.
“Somebody will snap at that, I probably would, I mean he hasn’t been great this season but nobody has at Leicester, he has had good seasons before,“ he said.

Ndidi would be a good signing for Leeds
Ndidi has been a solid top-flight player for a number of seasons and would add real steel to the engine room for Farke’s side.
They have the likes of Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev already amongst their ranks but there will plenty of gametime to go around this season, and the latter may not adapt to the elite level.
They could also bring Joe Rothwell back after his impressive loan spell but he does not boast much experience at the top level but Ndidi does, so it may make sense to target him instead of the Bournemouth man.
If Farke and the 49ers get it right in the market, it could be the difference between survival and going straight back down to the second tier.
