Leicester City’s best signing (and why)?

Khaled Abdallah:

Harry Maguire because he brings some youth and stability to the backline that faltered greatly last season. Huth and Morgan were incredible during the title-winning season but they finally looked their age in 2017. Bringing in Maguire should address that backline and improve it greatly.

Jake Walerius:

Long-term, Iheanacho projects to be a really good striker, and I could see him making a return to a top six side in a few years. In the short-term, probably Maguire. Wes Morgan and Robert Huth are both getting old and dealing with injuries, so I expect Maguire to have a bigger impact early on. 

Luke Hambleton:

Harry Maguire. He is a defender that loves a good tackle and will help supplement the ageing Huth and Morgan.
