Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has broken his silence on why he snubbed interest from several top European clubs to sign for Turkish Super Lig giants, Besiktas.
The 28-year-old penned a three-year deal with the Istanbul club on Friday, ending his eight-and-a-half-year stint with Leicester City in the English Premier League.
Ndidi, who was courted by multiple teams across Europe this summer, said his decision was driven by a desire to embrace fresh challenges and a different football culture.
“Beşiktaş are one of the biggest teams in the country. I wanted to be here because I want to see a new environment, new people, and a new league,” Ndidi told Besiktas TV.
The midfield enforcer enjoyed a decorated spell at Leicester City, winning the FA Cup and Community Shield, but admitted that after nearly a decade in England, the time had come to try something new.
