Nottingham Forest make opening offer to sign Liverpool midfield target Ndidi 

Nottingham Forest have made the first step towards signing Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

According to transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League outfit have presented an opening bid to Leicester City for the services of Nigeria international.

Despite bringing in Andrey Santos on loan from Chelsea, Steve Cooper is keen to his shore up his midfield options before the end of the transfer window with Ndidi being identified as one of his potential signings.

The former Genk midfielder is into the final 12  months of his contract at Leicester City which means an exit from the King Power Stadium cannot be ruled out before the end of the transfer window.

Besides Nottingham Forest, the 26-year-old has also been linked with Liverpool in recent days and he's also on the radar of German Bundesliga defending champions, Bayern Munich.

It has also been reported that Liverpool are considering him as an alternative target to Crystal Palace's midfielder Cheick Doucoure.

Despite the uncertainty regarding his future, Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca has started him in four of the six games that have been played by Leicester City in this campaign.

Ndidi has also repaid the faith of his manager with his performances, with the latest being the two-goal contributions he had in the Foxes' victory over Tranmere Rovers in the second round of the EFL Cup yesterday.
