Everton will replace Amadou Onana with Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi if the Belgian midfielder leaves this summer.
Ndidi’s contract at the King Power has run out and the Super Eagles’ star look set to leave after seven year.
Sky Sports journalist, Dan Bardell, has suggested that Ndidi will join the Toffees if Onana departs Goodison Park.
Onana has been linked with Arsenal, Barcelona and Manchester United.
“From a financial perspective, it would be good business, signing him on a free transfer. Ndidi is a midfield destroyer.
“I think if Onana was sold and he came in they could shape the squad better in other positions with the finances and that would be positive business,” Bardell said in quotes reported by Goodison News.
Everton could demand up to £50m for Onana’s services.
Ndidi has also been linked with Sevilla, Galatasaray, Aston Villa, Barcelona and Trabzonspor.
