Former Super Eagles goalkeeper coach Ike Shorunmu has expressed support for Wilfred Ndidi amid ongoing reports linking the Leicester City midfielder with a move to Turkish giants Beşiktaş.
The former Fussballclub Zürich goalkeeper has urged the Nigerian international to make the best decision for his career.
Speaking to Footy-Africa, Shorunmu acknowledged the pressures that come with transfer decisions but believes Ndidi is experienced enough to choose what’s best for himself at this stage of his career.
“I believe Wilfred knows what he is doing and will do what is best for himself and his career at this stage of his life,” Shorunmu said.
“Transfers are not an easy thing to be fair, so I hope he takes the best decision possible. It is entirely up to him to decide whether to stay or go.
For me, I will not mind if he takes his game to Turkey because it is also a good league, as I have played there before. I wish him all the best in whatever decision he takes.”
Ndidi is on the verge of leaving Leicester City after the club reportedly accepted an improved €9.5 million bid from Beşiktaş.
The Turkish outfit had an earlier €7 million offer rejected, but returned with a fee closer to Ndidi’s €9 million release clause, activated following the Foxes’ relegation from the Premier League.
