Harvey Barnes on Leicester players possibly leaving: things happen in football
Leicester City’s Harvey Barnes has spoken of the possibility of Foxes stars leaving. While also explaining his desire for the collective to stay together.
If you speak to Leicester fans, look on social media or chat rooms you will see them discussing how Leicester have to keep their talented squad. And that is invariably never easy for LCFC; I need waste no time comparing the Foxes budgets to that of ‘big six’ outfits to justify my previous claim.
Nevertheless, Leicester punch above their weight on a constant basis in the King Power era. That is with regards to retaining stars along with league and cup performance, generally.
Though key men still depart Filbert Way on occasion, usually for flattering fees. Profit for Ben Chilwell, Harry Maguire and Riyad Mahrez was near to £200million, after contributing positively for years.
Harvey Barnes staying with Leicester is one of the most vital tasks for LCFC this summer and in coming years. Barnes hasn’t had the best campaign but is integral to manager Brendan Rodgers.
The Wingman has divulged that he wants his teammates to remain at Leicester, as well as answering a question about hypothetical exits:
"“…it’s such exciting times and you hope that the whole group can stay here for as long as they can and keep progressing.“But, you know, things happen in football. Someone may end up leaving and then you need to get someone else in.”Harvey Barnes, via Leicester Mercury"
Brendan Rodgers talks up Leicester City starlets
In a recent interview, the east Midlanders boss praised his rising stars. Rodgers has been impressed by the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, as has the Blue Army. The former Reds gaffer suggested that the current crop of academy graduates could be the future core able to “stabilise” the Foxes side.
Dewsbury-Hall was singled out for special praise as the Northern Irishman labelled his midfielder a ‘ready-made Premier League player’. Rodgers also detailed how the 23-year-old must continue working hard to improve and retain his place in the club’s starting eleven. Read more on the subject here.
