Wilfred Ndidi has said he is looking forward to working with new Leicester City manager, Steve Cooper, DAILY POST reports.
Ndidi signed a new three-year contract with the former Premier League champions on Friday.
It put an end to speculations surrounding his future after his previous contract expired at the end of last month.
The defensive midfielder is now contracted to Leicester City until 2027.
The Nigeria international admitted that the new gaffer was one of the reasons he decided to extend his stay at the King Power Stadium.
“I’ve had a chance to speak with [Cooper]. I spoke to him during the holidays when he came in,” Ndidi told the club’s official website.
“He had some good ideas to share with me, so it was really, really, really amazing and I’m looking forward to working with him. He’s a great guy, he’s funny. I look forward to working with him, it’s very exciting.”
The 27-year-old arrived at Leicester City from Belgian Pro League outfit KRC Genk in January 2017.
He won the FA Cup and Community Shield with the Foxes in 2021.
Leicester City will host Tottenham Hotspur in their first game of the 2024/25 season on August 19.
