Wilfred Ndidi Joins Turkish Süper Lig side Beşiktaş

Leicester City FC can confirm that an agreement has been reached with Turkish Süper Lig side Beşiktaş for the permanent transfer of long-serving Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, subject to international clearance.


Wilfred joined Leicester City from Belgian side Genk in January 2017 and became a key figure in their 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 the club 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.
