Patson Daka: what we know

Things in football often progress quickly and Leicester City have seemingly pulled off a masterstroke in the space of a few days. Talks with Odsonne Edouard were seemingly near-complete, with Celtic were reportedly haggling over the final transfer fee. As such, Leicester City turned to alternatives, and Patson Daka was quickly lined up.

Such details are unknown of yet, but the fee is rumoured to be around £23m, only slightly more expensive than Edouard. Due to their swift decisions, Leicester City managed to steal a march on other suitors including Liverpool and RB Leipzig. Such interest highlights the quality of the player and the excellence of the recruitment team.

Now, according to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, the transfer is near completion with a “here we go soon”. Romano’s catchphrase “here we go” effectively seals a near promise of a completed transfer, exciting news for Foxes fans.
