Leicester player reviews – Get Carter’s 20/21: Surplus midfielder round-up

The arrival of Soumare is probably pushing him lower down the list of defensive midfielders and it might be now that Mendy starts to explore opportunities outside the club.

Hamza Choudhury is an enigma of a player that sits somewhere as a combination between Praet and Mendy. He’s all action and tough tackling but not quite as good as either in what he does.

Choudhury is more than useful and has been utilised mainly in the Europa League but his Premier League minutes have been limited which is more down to the players ahead of him. He’s clearly got more development to go through and will undoubtedly improve, but the question is whether he sees his future development at Leicester City or not.

Back in January, there were rumours that the 23-year-old was off to Newcastle United in a loan deal, strangely Brendan Rodgers was only interested in a permanent transfer which tells you where the manager sees Choudhury’s future.
