With EURO 2020 just around the corner and the Leicester City transfer rumour mill fully in operation the next month provides fans with an ideal opportunity to do some scouting of their own on some of the names tipped for a move to the King power this Summer.
Ozan Kabak/Merih Demiral
Leicester have been linked with moves for one of Soyuncu’s potential centre back partners and were on the verge of agreeing a deal for Demiral last season when he unfortunately ruptured his ACL forcing a breakdown in talks. It appears that Demiral of Juventus and Kabak who has recently returned to Schalke after a loan at Liverpool are vying for a spot next to Soyuncu in their national side but also potentially at Leicester next season should a deal for top target James Tarkowski fall through.
Turkey are placed in group A and open proceedings against Italy on Friday the 11th before games against Wales on the 16th and Switzerland on the 20th of June.
Viktor Tsyhankov
One of many names currently in the mix for Leicester’s much needed right wing spot, Tsyhankov plays his domestic football in the Ukrainian premier league for Dinamo Kyiv.
The 23 year old is also one of the stand out players for the Ukrainian national team. He has a deadly left foot and has been primed for a move to the big leagues for the past couple of seasons, a good showing at the Euros could be the perfect catalyst for a move to the premier league with Leicester being named as one of his potential suitors.
Tsyhankov and the Yellow and Blue kick off their tournament looking for an upset against the Netherlands on the 13th before taking on North Macedonia on the 17th and Austria on the 21st of June.
Daniel James
Back in Group A another right wing prospect will be looking to impress any potential suitors after being labelled surplus to requirements by Manchester United. James is a pacey and direct winger who has sometimes been criticised for his lack of consistency since joining united but at 23 years old he has plenty of scope to improve under Rodger’s in a similar mould to Harvey Barnes.
Leicester have been the bookmakers favourites to sign James for awhile now but no movement has happened just yet, it’s always difficult to separate the rumours with any weight from the paper talk but James should be worth a watch and has been a standout for Wales in their preparation friendlies over the last week.
Wales play their group games on the 12th, 16th and 20th of June with Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward also likely to feature.
Robin Gosens
Gosens looked set to join the Foxes but a final day failure to secure Champions League football appears to have stopped the move in it’s tracks for now. This is the second season running that Leicester have made a move for the German wing back to no avail but their is a long window ahead and circumstances could still change. Gosens is currently plying his trade in Serie A for Atalanta and is a former teammate of Leicester’s Timothy Castagne.
The attack minded and versatile Defender looks set to start for a rebuilt German side who have it all to prove in the “group of death” alongside France, Portugal and Hungary so even if Gosens does not end up at Leicester the football on display should be of the highest quality.
Die Mannschaft start their campaign against France on Tuesday the 15th before taking on Portugal on the 19th finishing on what could be a crucial game against outsiders Hungary on the 23rd of June.
