Apart from Wilfred Ndidi, English Premier League side Leicester City is set to sign another Nigerian ahead of the 202/2025 season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Foxes on Thursday agreed with Atalanta to have the signature of the Nigerian-eligible player Caleb Okoli on the team.

Okoli represented the Bergamo-based club last season but was not regular in the first team.

Leicester City agreed to pay £15 million for the versatile defender who is expected to team up with the first team.

Okoli was born in Italy to Nigerian parents and he played for the Young Azzuris at all levels but is eligible to represent Nigeria.
