Andre Silva

Andre Silva is not too bad either. He has got off to a flying start for Sevilla in La Liga, where he is on loan from AC Milan. Unfortunately for Leicester, Sevilla have an option to buy at the end of his loan, but if choose not to buy him, the East Midlanders should try to at the end of the season.

During his time in Spain, the Portuguese international has scored eight goals in 13 league games. In his time in both Italy and Spain, he has scored 19 goals in 43 appearances.

Silva is valued at €27 million, according to Transfermarket.com. What will attract Leicester to pay the fee is his ability to score in big games and big competitions. Leicester will want to sign someone of his calibre if they want to have a go at a Europa League place.
