Leicester City youth midfielder Sammy Braybrooke is the subject of transfer speculation, yet the Foxes will be keeping the talent as he is to re-sign.
Leicester are renowned for their academy talents that have taken the Premier League by storm. Or, at the very least, they have made themselves mainstays in the senior LCFC lineup and elsewhere. Luke Thomas is the latest starlet to make the leap from youth to first team.
Another youngster at the King Power club who is making his name coming up the ranks is Sammy Braybrooke. That is a name you’ll be hearing more and more if you are a Leicester supporter.

The diminutive midfielder is known for a developing holding role: in other words, he can transition play from defence to attack. Braybrooke is also progressing on the early international stage, recently captaining England’s Under-18 side.
Now the 17-year-old is expected to sign a professional Foxes contract, in spite of interest from other clubs, as per Gregg Evans of The Athletic.

Usually Foxes of Leicester would predict a draw for the east Midlands outfit in this type of scenario; however, Brendan Rodgers’ men are more than capable of obtaining three points against prominent EPL sides. Although the absence to Youri Tielemans – read more on that injury issue and the length of his unavailability here – makes leicester’s chance of defeating the Pensioners drastically more difficult.
