Top 8 free transfer signings available for Leicester this summer
By Akash Roy
6. Hakan Çalhanoğlu
Hakan Çalhanoğlu has been in a contract negotiation with AC Milan. The club is reportedly not seeing eye to eye with the Turkish midfielder’s demands of a £4.2 million-per-year deal. If things remain like this, he will be a free agent this summer.
An experienced attacking midfielder like Çalhanoğlu could add a lot of missing flair to the King Power club’s squad. No doubt he is an exceptional talent who has been instrumental in AC Milan’s recent success. He is an option to consider.
7. Diego Costa
Diego Costa is only 32 years old. He has been without a club since the start of this year. His last season with Atlético Madrid has been underwhelming by his standards. The nomadic career of Costa has been controversial, and that has always been a problem with him. His loose cannon-like temper is a thing of concern.
But still, the talent that he possesses should not be eclipsed by his nature. With Vardy aging, Costa could be an option to lead the charge of the attack for some years to come. He had always been a deadly threat to the opposition’s defense when he was playing in the Premier League for Chelsea.
8. Michy Batshuayi
As told previously, Chelsea’s squad is flooded at the moment, and several of their stars had been regularly loaned out as there is simply no option for them to stay and eat up wages. Certainly, this can be blamed upon mismanagement of the recruitment process or their sacking of their managers, who each have a vision with different players of distinct traits.
The same has been the case with Batshuayi, who is on his fourth loan spell. His career is on a downward spiral, and this might be his final chance to leave Chelsea for his own sake. He is still a Belgian international, but apart from that, he has always been a second choice wherever he has gone. A good option for Leicester City to consider as the player is only 27 and has the potential if utilized properly with guaranteed minutes.
