Wilfred Ndidi, the versatile Super Eagles midfielder, is poised for a potential move to Everton, contingent on the departure of Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana. Ndidi, 27, has become a sought-after player following the conclusion of his contract at Leicester City, where he spent seven successful years. Several clubs, including Sevilla, Galatasaray, Aston Villa, Barcelona, and Trabzonspor, have shown interest in acquiring the former Genk player.
Everton's interest in Ndidi hinges on the potential exit of Onana, who has been linked with high-profile clubs like Barcelona and Manchester United. The Toffees could demand up to £50 million for Onana, making his transfer a lucrative opportunity for the club. If Onana leaves Goodison Park, Ndidi could be a prime candidate to fill the void in Sean Dyche’s squad.
However, Everton is prepared for any eventuality. Should Ndidi opt to join another club, the Toffees have a backup plan in place. They are ready to give more playing time to their newly signed English youngster, Timothy Emeka Iroegbunam.
The 21-year-old midfielder is seen as a promising talent who can step up if Ndidi decides to pursue opportunities elsewhere. The potential acquisition of Ndidi would be a significant boost for Everton, given his experience and versatility. His defensive prowess and ability to contribute in midfield could make him a valuable asset for Dyche's team.
As the transfer window progresses, Everton fans will be keenly watching the developments surrounding Ndidi and Onana, hoping for favorable outcomes that strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
