Munir El Haddadi

Munir El Haddadi, Barcelona’s backup striker this term is someone to consider as well. He could arguably give Vardy a run for his money with the pace he possesses. With his contract running out at the end of the season, Barca may be willing to sell him – if they do sign someone else this summer.

After spending last season on loan with Alaves – where he scored ten goals and setup another six – El Haddadi has mostly sat on the bench this term at the Camp Nou. Like Batshuayi, a change of scenery could benefit him.

He could look to Chelsea’s Pedro for a success story after leaving Barcelona, and Leicester would be wise to think of acquiring the striker’s services. Transfermarkt.com lists him for a smaller fee than the others at €10.8 million.

Leicester need to sign a new striker, either in January or at the end of the season. These four names are the ones that the fans should keep track of. They are four strikers who would all immediately improve Claude Puel’s first team, and may even rival Jamie Vardy’s impact for the side.
