Another Nigerian blood replaces Ndidi at Leicester

Wilfred Ndidi who has just left Leicester City will have another Nigerian blood replacing him.

Leicester has never been without a Nigerian since Ahmed Musa joined in 2016. Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho joined in 2017.

Another Nigerian blood, Caleb Okoli, a centre back, has just been signed from Italian Serie A side Atalanta on a five-year contract. Born in Itali, Caleb Okoli is Igbo and Yoruba by descent.

The 22-year-old, who spent the last season on loan at Frosinone Calcio, represented Italy at the European Under-21 Championship last year.

"I think now is the right moment (for me) to make a step forward and a very big one. I'm very happy with the choice I made, so I'm very excited to start in the Premier League," Okoli said in a statement. The clubs did not disclose financial details of the deal.
