Puel: 'No issues with Ndidi speculation'

Leicester City boss Claude Puel says that he is 'happy' for Wilfred Ndidi to be linked with a transfer to a bigger club during the summer transfer window.

Leicester City boss Claude Puel has suggested that he welcomes any speculation associating his players with a move to a bigger club.

Since the start of 2018, Riyad Mahrez and Harry Maguire have both been linked with a future move to Manchester City, while it was claimed that Jamie Vardy was interesting both Chelsea and Everton.

Wilfred Ndidi is the next player to have been tipped to leave the King Power Stadium with Liverpool said to hold an interest in the midfielder, but Puel has no issues with reports indicating that the futures of his key men are in doubt.

At a press conference, the 56-year-old told reporters: "We spoke about Wilfred, the other week it was about Harry Maguire and last week it was another. Every week it is a different player. I think it is a good feeling - also because if there is speculation around a player I think all of this shows they have progressed in the team.

"They all have to continue to work with us, and of course I am happy about Wilfred, Harry, Riyad Mahrez, and Jamie Vardy."

Ndidi has made a total of 55 appearances in all competitions since moving from Genk in January 2017.
