Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi pours cold water on speculation about his future amid reported interest from the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.

Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has brushed off speculation about his future amid reported interest from the Premier League's big guns.

The 21-year-old has made a name for himself as one of the brightest young players in the English top flight since his January 2017 move from Belgian club Genk.

As a result, Ndidi has been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal, but the player himself is focused on helping the Foxes back into Europe.

"I don't think about this," the Nigerian told The Sun when asked about speculation regarding his future. "Any move to a bigger club will take care of itself if I keep doing my thing.

"Claude [Puel] is always making sure everyone knows what their target is and what we have to do. As quiet as he is, he knows what he is doing.

"He is not just talking to us on the pitch, after the game we have to know what mistakes we made and what we should've done.

"Anything is possible with Leicester, even qualifying for the Champions League again. Why not? We won the league, so anything is achievable in the minds of the players."

Ndidi has made 35 appearances for the East Midlands giants this season.
