Leicester City join Newcastle & two other Premier League teams in sending scouts to watch Badou Ndiaye on Saturday

Galatasaray star Badou Ndiaye has been in impressive form for the league leaders this season.

The Senegal international was linked with a move to the Premier League over the summer but ended up joining the Istanbul giants instead.

Ndiaye has however, continued to attract interest from England and four sides will send scouts to keep tabs on the midfielder.

A source at Galatasaray revealed to Turkish-Football that Leicester City, West Ham, Newcastle United and Tottenham will send representatives to watch Ndiaye in Galatasaray’s weekend clash against Trabzonspor.

The 26-year-old is a versatile central midfielder capable of playing both defensive and attacking roles.

The Lions signed Ndiaye for €8 million from Osmanlispor over the summer transfer window and he has another four years remaining on his contract.

N’Diaye, from Senegal, started his career at Diambars before moving to Norwegian outfit FK Bodø/Glimt, where he made 27 appearances in 2012.

Sky Sports reported that West Ham were in talks to sign Ndiaye last season and that Crystal Palace, Everton and Newcastle United were keeping tabs.

Galatasaray are currently undefeated in the league after nine games and sit top of the Super Lig table.
