Wilfred Ndidi joins Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas after eight years with Leicester City
Nigeria international arrived from Genk in January 2017
The 28-year-old made 303 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals
Wilfred joined us from Belgian side Genk in January 2017 and became a key figure in our midfield across eight seasons at King Power Stadium. He made 303 appearances in all competitions, finding the net 18 times.
A tireless and combative presence in the centre of the pitch, Wilf played a vital role in some of the Club’s most successful moments in recent years - helping us to consecutive fifth place finishes in the Premier League, lifting the Emirates FA Cup and FA Community Shield in 2021, and winning the Sky Bet Championship title in 2023/24.
Having arrived as a promising 20-year-old, Wilf departs as a seasoned international with the admiration of team-mates, staff and supporters alike for his efforts and achievements in a Leicester City shirt.
He leaves with the sincere thanks and best wishes of everyone at Leicester City for the next chapter of his career.
