Wilfred Ndidi says he remains committed to Leicester City despite constant rumours linking him with a move away from the club.
The midfielder was linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium this summer following the Foxes relegation to the Sky Bet Championship last season.
Ndidi, however, opted to stay at the club despite tempting offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The 26-year-old said the thought of leaving the former Premier League champions never crossed his mind.
The Nigerian also expressed satisfaction with the work of new manager Enzo Maresca.
" To be honest, no. Because when he (Enzo Maresca) came, he tried to explain his philosophy and also the simplicity of the game and I just feel like it's something I can actually learn from,"Ndidi told the club's official website.
"I've been open-minded to try and learn more about his philosophy and his style of game and it's been going well. I'm happy that I'm here.
"There's no time that I wanted to leave. Sometimes I saw the news and I was just laughing because it wasn't true."
