Leicester, Man United and Everton want Nigerian international

There is a new transfer report which states that Leicester City, Manchester United and Everton are interested in signing Nigerian international Samuel Chukwueze.

Leicester meet SC Braga in a Europa league Group G encounter with vital three points at stake, on Thursday. Brendan Rodgers’ team have two successive wins in the competition, yet the Portuguese have matched that outcome. Both sides swept aside Zorya Luhansk and defeated AEK Athens to secure joint top spot.

Latest Leicester City transfer rumour involves Nigerian international

Rodgers has previously said a squad is never complete – I’m paraphrasing but you get the gist, and it’s a good insight – therefore we can deduce that the Foxes are always scouting, assessing and targeting desirable players.

Obviously the January transfer window is not open for two whole months, however, that will not stop the rumour mill – which has some kind of perennial Duracell battery.

According to 90MIN, Samuel Chukwueze of Spanish La Liga outfit Villarreal is a current Leicester target. He is a Nigerian international winger, aged 21. Chukwueze also has plenty of UEL experience, although his goal involvements aren’t great over three seasons in Spain’s top division.

Furthermore, the outlet claims they have “been informed that Chukwueze is considering his future in Spain as he looks to take the next step in his career”. Of course, the wingman would join countrymen Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho if he signs.

After the outstanding victory at Leeds United, Rodgers hailed Foxes midfield maestro, James Maddison, who has been instrumental in attacking areas for the Leicester team this term. That is, despite having a couple of separate injuries and still not being quite 100 per cent fit. While praising the England man, Rodgers noted Maddison’s impressive ‘winning mentality’; an athlete said to love the game of football and have a desire to be successful. Read more at Daily Mail.
