Everton make offer to sign Leicester star – report

Everton Football Club has made an offer to sign Wilfried Ndidi, a midfielder for Leicester City, according to reports from Santi Aouna, a journalist for Foot Mercato. Ndidi’s contract with Leicester City is set to expire at the end of June, and the Foxes are eager to extend his stay at the King Power Stadium. However, Everton, along with French clubs Lyon and Olympique de Marseille, and AS Monaco, have all made offers to the 27-year-old Nigerian midfielder.This development comes as a surprise, given Everton’s financial struggles, which have led to a focus on player sales rather than signings.

However, it appears that the Toffees are determined to make some shrewd moves in the transfer window, despite their financial constraints.In addition to the offer for Ndidi, Everton have also agreed a £9 million fee with Aston Villa for Tim Iroegbunam, a 20-year-old midfielder, according to Fabrizio Romano. Iroegbunam is set to undergo a medical at Goodison Park, and a deal for Jack Harrison to rejoin the club on another season-long loan is also close to completion.Ndidi’s potential signing would represent a significant coup for Everton, given his experience in the Premier League and his reputation as a skilled midfielder.

His addition would bolster the Toffees’ midfield and provide a significant boost to their squad.The move also highlights Everton’s determination to make the most of their limited resources, by targeting players who are out of contract or available at a reasonable price. This approach may not generate the same level of excitement as big-money signings, but it demonstrates a commitment to building a strong squad through smart recruitment.

Furthermore, Everton’s financial struggles may soon be alleviated, as a takeover update at Goodison Park is expected to provide a “very strong” financial boost to the club. This injection of funds could enable the Toffees to make even more significant signings in the transfer window, and potentially challenge for a European spot in the Premier League.

In conclusion, Everton’s offer for Wilfried Ndidi represents a shrewd move in the transfer market, and demonstrates the club’s determination to build a strong squad despite their financial constraints. With a potential takeover on the horizon, the Toffees may soon be in a position to make even more significant signings, and challenge for honors in the Premier League.
