Leicester City is reportedly targeting Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff as a potential replacement for Wilfred Ndidi this summer. With uncertainties surrounding Ndidi’s future at the Foxes, Longstaff has emerged as a viable option as he is in the final year of his contract at St James’ Park. This could mean that Longstaff might be available at a low cost this summer or could leave as a free agent in a year’s time, according to recent reports.
Having been a key player for Leicester for several years, replacing Ndidi won’t be easy, but a proven and experienced player like Longstaff seems like an ideal candidate for the job. Enzo Maresca’s team is aiming for promotion back to the Premier League next season, making it crucial for them to plan well this summer as they prepare to return to the top flight.
