Celtic submit formal offer to sign maetros midfield in Leicester City,Which has been Rodgers priority since his arriver at Hoops
Quality. That’s the word that was overused by Brendan Rodgers as the Celtic boss looked forward to the January transfer window.
When I say overused, I mean that the Celtic manager should have kept that opinion to himself rather than making it public that he believes the players he now has are not good enough. Because that is basically what he did. Anyway, that’s a story for another day.
There is a player reaching the end of his contract at Leicester City who Rodgers once hailed as ‘world-class’ and may be a terrific summer acquisition.
And, at only 27 years old, he is hitting his peak and may have a high sell-on value.
Wilfred Ndidi would make a terrific addition to Celtic.
The Nigerian international had previously been linked to Celtic.
Rodgers was thought to be keen on bringing his former midfield lieutenant to Glasgow after working closely with him at Leicester.
Ndidi was a member of the Leicester squad that won the FA Cup and the Community Shield during Rodgers’ tenure at the Premier League club, although he now plays in the English second tier.

With 344 professional matches and 53 caps for Nigeria,
Ndidi has the skills and expertise that Rodgers is searching for.
The Leicester midfielder’s contract expires at the end of June, and Celtic should at least look into it.
Ndidi’s current weekly salary is £51k [SalarySport], which may be a stumbling block.
However, receiving a proven international who was previously worth £15 million for free.
Surely, the Parkhead board could go above and beyond to sign the Nigerian.
Working under Rodgers and the chance of returning to Champions League competition may persuade.
