Wilfred Ndidi confirms he has played last game for Genk ahead of £15m switch to champions Leicester City
Genk midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has confirmed he has played his last game for the club prior to moving to Leicester City.
Ndidi played in Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Gent and the 20-year-old will join Premier League champions Leicester City for £15million at the end of the week.
'This was my last game for Genk,' he said. Ndidi has already passed his initial medical tests with Leicester.

Genk have signed 18-year-old Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge, a one-time Everton target, as Ndidi's replacement.
They have also appointed former Manchester United assistant Albert Stuivenberg as head coach.
Leicester have struggled to match last season's stunning Premier League title win since the start of the new campaign.
Claudio Ranieri's side are only three points above the relegation zone following Monday's 2-0 defeat at the King Power to Everton.

Leicester only lost one of their key players in the summer - N'Golo Kante - and Ndidi's arrival is expected to deal with his loss.
Nampalys Mendy, who joined the Foxes from Nice in the transfer window, has struggled with injury. A series of other midfielders have struggled to fill Kante's boots.
Leicester face West Ham on Saturday in the Premier League.
