Just a couple of weeks to the summer window deadline, Super Eagles and Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi is attracting transfer interest as Turkish giant Fenerbahce are considering offering the English club €8 million (£6.8 million) for the Nigerian.
According to a Turkish report, Fenerbahce have entered talks with the players’ representatives in order to convince him of a move.

The Süper Lig club are said to be weighing up an €8 million (£6.8 million) offer for the 26-year-old.
Fenerbahce are keen to reinforce their midfield options this summer, and are seeking a new defensive-minded player to add to their ranks.
Ndidi fits that profile, with the Nigerian also in favour of a move away from the King Power Stadium following the club’s relegation to the Championship.
The midfielder has just one-year remaining on his current contract, which has raised doubts over his future in Leicestershire.
Ndidi featured for over an hour in the team’s opening day victory over Coventry City last weekend.
He was replaced just after the 60-minute mark in place of Dennis Praet with the score still 1-0 in favour of the Sky Blues.
That may well have been one of Ndidi’s last ever appearances for the club, with the number six attracting interest from clubs abroad.
Fenerbahce’s sporting director Mario Branco has already reportedly held a meeting with the player to gauge his level of interest in joining the Turkish side.
It is believed that he is now warming to the idea, with Fenerbahce showing ambition to build a side capable of regaining the top flight crown.
An offer of £6.8 million, plus bonuses, has been made to Leicester, but it remains to be seen whether the Championship side will sanction a sale at that price.
Ndidi has been an important player for Leicester in recent years, ever since signing from Belgian side Genk in the summer of 2017 for a reported fee of £15 million.
