In Leicester City’s winger search, Said Benrahma or David Brooks seem logical transfer choices. Yet West Ham United’s Grady Diangana is actually ideal.

Although signing a lesser-known winger may rile the Blue Army, West Ham United’s Grady Diangana could be a perfect, reasonably priced addition for Leicester City. Even more so than spending big on Said Benrahma, David Brooks or one of the Barcelona men that have recently been linked.

I know I’ve lost your faith already, which isn’t great, especially as I’ve only just begun the article. But stick with me, I’ll explain.

No, Diangana is not proven in a top-five European top-flight, something Foxes of Leicester have been championing for some time, yet he is exactly what is devoid at King Power Stadium.

The mind-boggling skill of the tricky wingman must be seen to be believed. Yes, what I have witnessed and share with you below is of his exceptional loan period with West Bromwich Albion – in the Championship. Though, that type of performance can potentially be replicated by the England Under-21 star in the Premier League.

As previously stated, Diangana offers what’s missing for Leicester, truly: the ability and confident mindset to take an opponent relentlessly with adroit fluidity. Furthermore, in the second English division, the player has a wonderful productivity level: 14 goal involvements in 30 appearances. That’s a very notable achievement.

Now Brendan Rodgers’ side are supposedly contemplating a bid for the 22-year-old, who can also play as an attacking midfielder. However, the East Midlands outfit will apparently encounter competition for Diangana’s signature from Southampton as well as Crystal Palace.

Other transfer rumours currently circulating around the sphere, include ones suggesting Leicester City will purchase another centre-back this summer. Additionally, an incoming striker is also a possibility on Filbert Way. Burnley’s James Tarkowski is back on the Foxes radar with regard to defenders; while forward Odsonne Edouard of Celtic may be targeted in a deal.
