Nottingham Forest Eyeing Leicester City’s Ndidi, Fulham Set to Sign Castagne (Latest Transfer News)
In the latest transfer news, Nottingham Forest is reportedly interested in acquiring Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. Forest had previously been linked to Ndidi following Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League, and now it appears that their East Midlands rivals are making a push to secure the deal. Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Forest is set to submit a bid for the Nigerian defensive midfielder, with personal terms already agreed upon. Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to commence in the near future as Forest looks to make the move a reality.
Meanwhile, Leicester City full-back Timothy Castagne is said to be on the verge of joining Premier League side Fulham. Reports from Belgium, Castagne’s home country, indicate that the right-back is set to make the switch to Craven Cottage. Castagne has yet to make an appearance for Leicester under manager Enzo Maresca and is among the players expected to depart from the club before the transfer deadline. Arsenal, Juventus, and Fulham have all been linked to the Belgian international throughout the summer, but it appears Fulham is now the frontrunner for his signature.
In other news, the details of Yunus Akgun’s arrival at Leicester City have been revealed by Galatasaray. The winger’s transfer was officially confirmed by both clubs, with Akgun joining Leicester on a season-long loan. The deal includes an option or obligation for Leicester to make the move permanent next summer. Galatasaray disclosed the loan fee being paid by Leicester as well as the fee that would be incurred if the obligation is activated during the loan spell.
Additionally, Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has sent a message to Wanya Marcal after the midfielder was dropped from the squad for the win over Rotherham. Marcal, who scored his first goal for the club in the previous weekend’s victory against Cardiff, was left out of the matchday squad despite being available to play. Maresca stated that Marcal needs to earn his place in the team, and his absence allowed fellow academy graduate Kasey McAteer to step up and score two goals, securing a 2-1 victory for City and maintaining their perfect start to the season.
As the transfer deadline approaches, these developments provide an insight into the ongoing activity within Leicester City and the potential changes to their squad. Fans will be eagerly awaiting any further updates as the window comes to a close.
