 Sky Sports pundit and former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie believes that Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is likely to leave Leicester City this summer, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced.

In an exclusive interview with Football League World, Hendrie shared his thoughts on Ndidi's current situation at Leicester and was asked if he anticipates another club activating his release clause.

“I have always been a big fan of him when he was playing in the Premier League,” Hendrie said.

“I know he has had injuries at times.

“I genuinely believe that the £9 million release clause will be met by someone. That’s something to consider.

“Clubs that have been promoted will surely have him on their radar because of the role he plays. He can excel as a holding midfielder and also push forward when needed.

“I feel that Leicester has lost its direction over the last few seasons and has not been able to strengthen its squad.

“If they do lose him, the Foxes will be disappointed because he is a strong midfielder who could fit in well with most top Championship teams and lower-half Premier League teams.”
