Lucas Vazquez

The final winger is Lucas Vazquez. The 28-year-old has been with Real Madrid since the age of 16. He made his first appearance for Real Madrid in 2015 and has made 134 appearances for the Spanish giants since.

A figure throughout Zinedine Zidane’s record-breaking European ‘three-peat’, he is the oldest player on this list but with that comes vital experience – especially in Europe’s premier club competition (29 appearances).

A right-footed left-winger with the ability to provide exceptional passing and dribbling quality when cutting inside, over his entire Real Madrid career, he has averaged a goal contribution every 142.5 minutes.

With Champions League football becoming an increased expectation for Leicester, it’s this calibre of winger that should be targeted. Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez as starting wingers could definitely scare European opposition but it’s the longevity of the entire season that becomes problematic.
