Ismaila Sarr to Leicester City?

According to Leicester Mercury, all three of the above listed players are linked to Leicester City strongly with a certain bookmaker. Just in case you’re wondering,  click the above link to get the lowdown on those and many other players that the Foxes are apparently monitoring.

You may not believe us, though it’s true: we actuality picked Watford’s Ismaila Sarr as one of our hopeful signings who would improve the Leicester City team before he bagged a brace versus Liverpool. Sarr’s team sank the Reds 3-0 in the end. Though the Senegalese should’ve pocketed a hat-trick, to be ultra critical.

Anyway, Sarr is an extremely promising yet still slightly unpolished rising star. After his goal haul against Jurgen Klopp’s side, he can no longer be labelled as a prospect. Although, the player’s raw status still almost levels him with comparable wingers such as Wilfried Zaha – another man the Foxes were linked with in previous window rumours.

Both wingman, support attacker, or however you wish to categorize them, are tremendously gifted dribblers. It is a cliché: but either can affect and win dull, boring, stalemate matches with one flick, shot or piece of skill.

Though the Senegal international has already shown his Ivorian counterpart the way as to end product: Zaha has six EPL goal involvements, while Sarr has contributed eight in less outings. Additionally, major media outlets like Sky Sports are currently touting the youthful winger as potentially the “difference” in Watford’s battle with the drop. High praise.

This writer would take all three players, even if it meant selling one class act already at the club, within reason. At age-22, Sarr can complete his development at City and help them conquer Europe. Possibly wishful thinking.

Hot. Disappointment not enough - Rodgers must get tough!. light

Leicester meet Birmingham City at home on Wednesday evening in a Last 16 FA Cup clash. Their next Premier League fixture is Aston Villa, also at King Power Stadium, on Monday.
