Liverpool fans have urged the club to make a move for Wilfred Ndidi following his excellent performance in Leicester City's 2-1 loss to Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday evening.

The Nigeria international was earlier linked with a switch to the Reds but it is understood that they have not officially contacted Leicester City over signing the midfielder.

With Naby Keita set to join from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig at the end of the season, the fans of Liverpool reckon that they would have a world class midfield if Ndidi is added to their ranks.

Against Chelsea, the Super Eagles star outshone Chelsea's destroyer N'Golo Kante, making a game-high ten tackles compared to the Frenchman's 1; he made three interceptions and two clearances according to stats provided by OPTA.

Here are some of the best tweets from Liverpool fans :

@NabyKeitaBaby : ''Ndidi was class tonight vs Chelsea. Really hope we get him for that 6 ''

@Ipisciotti : ''Imagine if we get Ndidi and Draxler too... What a Team!''

@Ajaxin : ''Jorginho and Ndidi rumors clearly suggest we want a DM. Adios Henderson.''

@AasimMo_LFC : ''Agree 100%, except I wouldn't want can/gini/hendo alongside keita Would prefer jorginho/ndidi , keita and lemar''

@ThisMerv : ''Ndidi would be a welcomed addition.''

@jaedontaylor07 : ''Would be unreal 😍 even though Lemar has been really quiet this season tbh...heard Ndidi is on our radar aswell''

@Egz1_ : ''Ndidi & Naby Keita > Xavi & Iniesta''

@ForzaRobertson : ''Ndidi-Keita and Draxler or Jorginho is actually such a good midfield, can’t have Jorginho-Keita-Draxler though because it’s unbalanced and weak''

@FalseFirmino : ''Ndidi links. Brilliant.''

@FutbolRob__ : '' Wilfred Ndidi// Without a doubt has been Leicester’s best player in his breakthrough season. Would be immense in a holding Midfield spot along side Naby Keita or even in a box-to-box role. His energy in Midfield would bring a lot to Liverpool and would be a great signing imo ''
