Leicester’s Ndidi Joins Turkish Adventure…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Norwegian maestro and current Beskitas head coach, finally secured a long-awaited player transfer. Five years after eyeing Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi, the former Manchester United boss has roped him in for the Turkish giants. Official news broke on Friday, revealing that Beskitas snagged Ndidi for €8 million (£6.94m), like finding a vintage Ferrari at a garage sale, complete with a three-year deal and a bonus option for a fourth. Reflecting on the move, Solskjaer expressed confidence that Ndidi will help them chase titles, recalling their memorable encounters when he was at United.
This transfer was an itch for Solskjaer since 2020 when United and Arsenal had eyes on Ndidi. Back then, Ndidi’s whopping £45 million price tag was as intimidating as an angry werewolf watching its moon disappear! Despite staying at Leicester and bagging an FA Cup, he eventually saw the Foxes face relegation from the Premier League. With his contract nearing its end, speculation hovered, but Ndidi followed his soccer destiny to Turkey.
