Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri claims he doesn't even know who transfer target Wilfred Ndidi is.

Constant speculation in the press suggests that the Foxes are set to sign the defensive midfielder from Belgian club RacingGenk for around £15million.

However, Ranieri claims he has never ever seen 20-year-old Nigerian Ndidi despite suggestions he is set to imminently join the reigning Premier League champions.

"I haven't seen Ndidi - I don't know who he is," said Ranieri after his side's 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough on Monday.
