Premier League side Everton are reportedly expecting Amadou Onana to leave the club this summer and have identified a solid replacement.
Everton are reportedly keen on Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi who is now a free agent after leaving Leicester City.
Ndidi spent 7 years at King Power and was particularly impressive as they finished top of the Championship to make an immediate return to the top flight.

Ndidi to replace Onana at Everton?
There have been reports linking Amadou Onana with an exit, and Ndidi has been touted as a potential replacement.
Sky Sports and TalkSPORT journalist, Dan Bardell has suggested that the Nigerian midfielder will move to Everton if key midfielder Onana departs this summer.
“From a financial perspective, it would be good business, signing him on a free transfer. Ndidi is a midfield destroyer. I think if Onana was sold and he came in they could shape the squad better in other positions with the finances and that would be positive business.
'He’s a good player but things have maybe gone a bit stale at Leicester for him. A few years ago everyone wanted him and he’s been part of a team that was consistently in the top six of the Premier League for seasons.
"He’s shown that in the right system, he can be a good player and I could see him suiting Sean Dyche’s set-up,“ Bardell said via Goodison News."
