Exit-linked Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi reacts to Rangers confirmed transfer news
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has sent a four-word message to Leon Balogun after the latter rejoined Rangers.
As confirmed by the official Gers website, the centre-back has moved back to the club on a one-year deal after his spell at Queens Park Rangers.
And among those sending messages of congratulations to the defender is Foxes midfielder Ndidi, Balogun’s teammate at international level with Nigeria.
The centre-back played for Rangers from 2020-2022, making 65 appearances for the club before moving to Queens Park Rangers.
“Coming home,” Balogun posted on Instagram, with Ndidi replying: “Good luck young Balo.”
Great move
Balogun’s return to Ibrox represents a great move for all parties involved, with the defender set to play a key role in the club’s fight to get back to their very best next season.
It remains to be seen how many minutes the veteran defender will be handed by manager Michael Beale in the months to come, but at 35, he boasts so much valuable experience.
Such experience will help all of the young players coming through the ranks at Ibrox both on and off the pitch, while he will no doubt be brought into matches that Rangers are winning to help see them through to the end.
Balogun is a fan favourite at Ibrox, with fans set to be delighted at his return, even if it is on a short-term basis.
The player has seemingly been brought in to provide cover at the back amid the recent injury to young centre-back Leon King, meaning he may just be thrown into the deep end from the very start if any other player in that position is forced into spending time on the sidelines.
