Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers insists that his midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is worth more than £50m following links with a move to Aston Villa.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has spoken about the valuation of Wilfred Ndidi.

The central midfielder has been linked with a move to Aston Villa this week, with Steven Gerrard's club interested in the 25-year-old, but the Foxes boss is keen not to sell him.

"He is worth much more than that," Rodgers said to the press when asked if it is nice to have a £50m-rated player in his squad.

"A player of that quality with that mentality, of course, you always want to keep. But when you have that player he will always attract that interest. But he seems very settled here and I know he has moved into a new house over this last period and seems very, very happy.

"He is a pleasure to work with, a good guy and hopefully he can be around the club for many, many years. He has been a really, really important player in my time here for his role."

Ndidi has made 15 appearances in the Premier League this season, and he could be used tonight when Leicester plays Randers in the Europa Conference League.
