Transfer: Ndidi set to undergo medical at Besiktas Thursday

Wilfred Ndidi will fly into Turkey on Thursday to undergo a routine medical ahead of his permanent transfer to Besiktas.

Ndidi will sign a three-year contract with the Turkish Super Lig champions.

Besiktas and Leicester City have already reached an agreement for the midfielder’s transfer to the former.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will pay €9.5m for the player.

Spanish club Valencia made a late move to hijack Besiktas’ deal for Ndidi, but their offer was rejected by Leicester City.

Ndidi will join the growing list of Nigerian stars who have moved to Turkey in recent weeks.

Other Nigerians currently playing in Turkey include Paul Onuachu (Trabzonspor), Henry Onyekuru (Genclerbirligi), and Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray).
